• 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.

Chopin"s funeral March rewritted in BACH's style.
This is a draft version of a music I have been asked to write : a Chopin's funeral march in Bach's style.
I have tryed to do it, but it is not easy, Chopin and Bach are so different.
Tell me if you think i should resume this work or give up.

I hear much more Bach than Chopin for sure.. Hard to interroplate the chopin theme, at least to my ears. I think is a good piece however and could be used in a number of areas of the liturgal service. Continue on with your work with this piece. You always do good work so am sure this will be completed with your usual skill.
