• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

    Many kind regards

You know, quite truthfully I don't know what that noise was ... in fact, I didn't notice it until I heard it in the recording after getting home. Or maybe I heard it and was able to ignore the distraction ... after almost 50 years on the bench, noises like that never bother me when I am when playing.

Aye, I'm with you there. It's extraordinary what one can zone out whilst playing and you don't realise until listening back to it afterwards. I suspect there'll be plenty of others here who are blithely accustomed to many a distraction. These days for example, I just roll my eyes when emergency vehicle (with sirens) come blaring by during a morning mass (our cathedral is a few hundred metres down the road from the Fire Dept. Frankly, I think they often wait until it's just after 9 on a Sunday morning and then go for a test run - there can't always be that many emergencies at the same time on a Sunday morning ... can there??)

Indeed ... from an organist standpoint, it's equally as interesting to play the same piece in different environments too.

:)The first time I ever played Franck Choral III, was on a modest 2-manual instrument in a quite dry acoustic. When I finally got to play it on a sizeable 3-manual in an equally sizeable acoustic, it was so much fun not to have to play some parts so "over" legato!
