• 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.

After Toccata and Fugue in D Minor

Hey guys.
I recently finished learning Bach's famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor, and i was wondering what other pieces are out there of around the same level of difficulty, as i dont want to start on something much harder, as i've only been learning a keyboard instrument for 3 yrs (1.5 on piano, 1.5 on organ)

Im currently looking at BWV 538 (Dorian Toccata and Fugue) and BWV 549 (Prelude and Fugue in C Minor)... i'm probably looking to learn another bach or someone similar, like Krebs or something...

Thanks ;)

PS: if u cud direct me to where i could find the scores for these pieces, it would be much appreciated :D

Good for you!

I love that piece (as all organists do). I've got a suggestion thats not too hard; assuming you like pedal. Prelude, Fugue and chaconne by Dieterich Buxtehude isn't terribly difficult, and I'm learning it right now. Its a beautiful baroque piece so you should check it out!!

I found this piece in Organ Classics 18 Works by Bach, Franck etc. edited by Rollin Smith.
