Toccata and Fugue in F by Buxtehude - Organ Tutorial

Regent Classic’s musical tutorial videos for 2017 feature pieces from the ABRSM organ examination syllabus. Organist Jonathan Kingston gives you a short introduction to the Toccata in F by Buxtehude, offering some background and tips about performance and registration. We hope they’re useful if you’re preparing for one of these exams yourself.
The Toccata in F provides an opportunity for some detailed pedal semiquaver work, which can be brought out in the texture by the addition of a small 16’ reed stop that speaks quickly.
Manual choruses built to mixtures without 16’ tone work well here, says Jonathan. In the buoyant and happy fugue, he suggests that a lighter tone is desirable, but that one might like to add stops at suitable junctures in order to build towards a grand conclusion, as you’ll hear in this performance.
Clarity is so important here-it’s really important to allow the music to dance! You’ll notice that Jonathan uses a delicate eight-foot reed stop during the early pedal parts of the fugue to delightful effect.
