I am orchestrating this piece and this really helped a lot (I will put it on youtube once its done

[@dime_nticati]

How the work is going?

[@qwqwqw111]

Thanks for the video Registration Marked on the Sheet (for all organs in the sheet it says for french organs all churches don't have french organs with Appels and Anches) 0:02 I.Introduction - Choral (C minor) All the Foundation stops 16', 8', 4' and Reeds (my opinion is except the Recit division prepare Tutti in all other divisions.) Pedal division - All stops would be nice a 32'Reed is recommended. 2:15 II.Menuet gothique (C major) same registrations as above the difference is its played like a dialogue between Recit (swell) division and Grand orgue (Great) Division 5:31 III.Prière à Notre-Dame (A-flat major) Recit (Swell) Division - Viola de gamba 8' and a voix Celeste 8' (any String 8' stop and a Celeste 8' stop) Grand Orgue (Great) Division - a flute 8' or a Bourdon 8' (flute harmonic 8' would be more beautiful) Pedal Division - soft 8', 16' foundation stops 10:39 IV.Toccata (C minor) Recit (Swell) division- Foundation stops 8', 4' and Reeds Choir Division - Foundation stops 8', 4' (Preregistered Reeds 8', 4' saved) Grand Orgue (Great) Division- Foundation stops 8', 4' (Preregistered Reeds 16', 8', 4' saved) Pedal Division- Foundation stops 32', 16', 8', 4' (Preregistered Reeds 32', 16', 8', 4' saved) AND PEDAL COUPLED Preregistered Reeds are Anches aka ventils (most organs don't have this system) so saving the combinations is the best option if you have more doubts on this you can just ask me I'm always here to help. Please ignore my spelling and grammar errors.

The instructions relating to the pitches of the pipes eg "Fonds et Anches 16', 8', 4'" are relating only to the Anches not to the Fonds. Unless explicitly specified, Fonds implies the "plein jeu" IE Montre 16' + 8', Diapason 8' (if present) Bourdon 16' + 8', Prestant 4', Doublette 2', Plein Jeu (or Fourniture + Cymbale). On an English organ, the equivalent to the instructions "Fonds" would be "Full chorus with mixtures".

Question ... should the Menuet go without 32'stops ?

[@paulduweitwerdubist]

thanks, i searched a long time for a recording with this true sound and reputable tempo

[@johannessilver8653]

Great that one can follow the notes during this great music...and understand it better...thanks.

[@gabbeman1975]

Hadn’t heard this recording before. Absolutely brilliant!!!

[@LearnCompositionOnline]

Again the proof that c minor is the coolest key!

[@originaltommy]

That's how it should be played. Thank you!!!

[@ilfacciocose]

Che meraviglia la Toccata!🎉

[@redbrick9634]

Very enjoyable

[@christophedevos3760]

Interesting piece. A bit reminiscent of Franck and Bruckner as well perhaps.

[@_Moonz_]

Toccata is my favorite movement 😍😍

[@tubosyaire1999]

Qué maravilla!!!👏👏👏

[@johannessilver8653]

Is this in Rouen Ouen?

[@chmorrison1149]

I had always played what I considered to be the "correct" score, as shown here at 7' 57", with A natural, yet a different score, as played here, with A Sharp at the same point exists and sounds like an organist's error

[@joshuasanchez7577]

10:37 Toccata

[@tubamaxima187]

[@johannessilver8653]

Great!

Keep asking myself why I choose harpsichord instead of organ as second instrument at my con, then I remember that there were only baroque ones and I cringe so much

[@bureek028]

Please add timecodes in description or pinned comment

[@quinone_bob]

OK I will add it next time

[@marccheban194]

Why such noticeable tempo variations in the Chorale?

[@salicional]

Phrasing!

[@marccheban194]

@@salicional Phrasing and tempo are two different things....

[@disdonc6012]

@@marccheban194 I also found it a bit strange the tempo variations. Seemed a bit too fast for me. Also the third movement is too fast.

[@krzysztofgentkowski607]

and where is the organ on which the suite is played?

[@cornbeef]

Not sure they're using the best arrangement of stops for this. Very heavy and masks the tune and harmonies a lot. Also, it's quite slow to how it should be. The Toccata needs to be at the tempo mark stated, 132 bpm. It lacks the drama and urgency when not played up to speed. For anyone listening, I urge you to find a different recording of this as it just lacks the quality it deserves.

[@tubamaxima187]

I disagree. I think the stop selection is perfect. The Chorale is supposed to be dramatic.

[@albertpeckham8708]

Sorry...it's a bit too heavy for me.

[@garywait3231]

Far too many stops engaged, so that one cannot discern the tones and movements the composer intended!

[@bernardcromarty485]

You will probably like Daria Burlak's version - she's by far the best I've heard... her clarity of registration and articulation is amazing. She transcribed Rimsky-Korsakov's Russian Easter Festival Overture, which is magical...
