Bach's non-Chorale organ works.

[Contratrombone64]

And for a little light amusement, this piece proves (to me at least) several things about Bach:

1) he didn't suffer from dodgy hips

2) having had 18 odd children didn't diminish his abilities with his feet and

3) the modern Olympics were not begun in Athens, rather in Leipzig.

Here's a very strange work ... certainly not a labyrinth I'd like to get caught in ...

Bach was also a Luthern just like Krummhorn. I know that much about him
thanks to paul one of the musicians at church.

I've seen that pedal exercise before. Don't really know the laborynth one...

[Contratrombone64]

NEB the labyrinth one is weird, for sure, so incredibly chromatic and weird, yet so very Bach.

[methodistgirl]

I'm suprised that Krummhorn didn't quote me on that one about Bach.

I'll have a look at it sometime when I've got more spare time. (Actually right now practice time is getting to be a bit of a premium with my hectic schedule...)

Here's someone playing Bach's pedal exercise on a flat pedal board. Most interesting.

Not very good, Ct64. Why are you wasting our time with such a video, when you yourself could probably come up with a better rendition?

Hey, I didn't say it was any good ... at least he tried, not everyone's Gillian Weir or Peter Hurford you know!

[Flute'n'Pedal]

Agreed. But most organists past the first year couldn't play that badly if they tried.
