When music was good

It's not fair. :/ I want to make classical music but nope, still at school being lame.

@@boseifrit5480 Music is still good.

@@boseifrit5480 wdym

@@tankpenguin175 well this modern pop rap and hip hop shit makes me angry. Dont yet me started abt mumble rap. People listen to this shit music, with horrible lyrics may I say, then bash metal and rock for its lyrics which aren't nearly as bad.

I wanna see him play that big one in the shower

@@AshWont time to set off the fire alarm 😂

Lol. That's hilarious. Very good sir.

Macy's Philadelphia... or the old Union Station in Cincinnati...

Lmbo, I commented something similar just before I saw your comment; another man of culture I see ;p

Interstellar 😇

One of Classical music's masterpieces. And, to think that Bach was only 18 or 19 when he wrote it! Amazing. Talent is gifted from God.

@@dougoverhoff7568 wait, really? That's crazy

You want to test all the pipes? Go for Max Reger

Hi Brother Demolay, I am from Brazil, Príncipe Serrano number 9

he was 17 so I guess orange juice it is

There is little known about why Not his piece was written, but many authors speculate it was designed to test new organs. Wind volume and pressure, each voice individually with call and response, chromatic runs through each key...

@@adam207321 Drinking ages in Europe tend to be lower than in the US, and laws pertaining thereto are more recent. In Bach's time, everything to do with the consumption of alcohol was somewhat discretionary.

Same. Even if it's just on a regular piano. John is amazing :)

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5tleMVilqjWn2Q.html here's one of his concerts

totally agreee.

Absolutely! 😁

Live musicals are felt both in spiritual and physical manner. No matter how good your speakers or headphones are worth, live music is irreplaceable. Once got invited into a tribal folkloric band. The drums, bagpipes, zithers and powerful voices... it was something.

@@Home_Rich I haven’t heard it a musical but at an organ concert. It is an amazing experience indeed.

Even as a kid I loved this piece, before I even knew who composed it, always referred to it as the Dracula music.

​@@sovietonion72I just posted about Dracula too. I wondered if anyone out here had similar memories 🙌

Гениально​@@Home_Rich

It’s literally blue lobster

ABBA is the most iconic

Yes it is

Metal has its roots in classic. I used to listen to "heavy classic music" if that's a thing. Like prokofiev dance of the knights

These "metal" coments are the cringest thing I ever read

Jokes aside, this composition does have many techniques used in modern metal.

@@FockeWulfFW200 sorry i just broke my neck from the recoil of cringe your spelling of "coments" gave me

I’m tired of LISZTening to these stupid puns

dude

😂

😂😂😂

I like the way he Handel this piece.....

Indeed ... Although the Toccata is perhaps the most famous 'half', for me the real challenge is a smooth tranisition to the Fugue, and then the Fugue itself, which I consider the more challenging of the two 'parts' ... There is a video of Karl Richter playing the entire piece, and you can just about see he exerts that little bit more effort into the Fugue, even though Richter himself, quite aside from being an amazing conductor, could have easily made a career just from playing the organ alone, which goes to show just how incredible the Fugue actually is ...

The ending of the fugue when I play it is typically louder than the toccata

Yep

This techique is used in so many modern songs... good to know where the inspiration comes from :p

I think its called pedalling , im not entirely sure though

Guys please please get it into your thick colonialist skull, it's Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si

Yeah, this performance is definitely not the best.

@@Altroante yeah my personal favorite that I've listened to us Xaver Varnus at the Berliner dome

Perhaps he's, literally, playing for the lowest common denominator? This is you tube, not Carnegie Hall. ✌😸

It sounds Like Halloween music

Agreed, he played it in a shit like manner and not as written.

​@@SirReginaldBlomfield1234true but it was just a demonstration

Conlan McGuff Wtf ? Bach is much better than any other composer

@@orgelfan1675 I am glad that you like his work as well, although I must remind you that I am entitled to my own opinion, too.

@@Nibiru_Truthsnej

Also ,I remember this track from when I watched Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange.

11? I think you mean like 36

Огромное спасибо приклоняюсь удачи вам и всех благ Москва Россия

the avant garde fanatics might like your work lol

It’s a little discouraging🙌🏻

Really Bach writes Toccata and Fugue when he's 17-19 years old??

1000 comments on youtube;)

This is the whole of the Toccata, as in the title of the video. The Fugue is not included.

@@DavidWood2 I know but Bach did "Toccata e Fuga" for a reason: to play it togheter! So only the "Toccata" part is still only an intro even if you say it in the title and i've just said that want it all in one piece! :(

@@TheGabbia Rob's main video was about the organ. The limited time likely only allowed for some short demonstrations. We're lucky enough to have this full recording of the Toccata (of which an excerpt was used in Rob's video about the organ). Perhaps one day Rob and the crew can return to get some longer recordings - but the aim of this shoot was not to get concert recordings.

@@DavidWood2 so? I still want a full version...and if enough person ask it mabye Rob will do it. I didnt said anything bad about Rob or the video and I don't get the problem, you just want to complain?

@@TheGabbia This is Rob's bonus channel where he posts content that goes alongside the main channel. The main channel video from this shoot was about the organ as an instrument. The Toccata appears to have been one of the demonstrations recorded as part of that shoot - an excerpt was used in the main channel video and Rob has been gracious enough to post the entire recording here. It seems they did not record the Fugue - and they can't post what they didn't record. Grumbling that "This is only the intro" will not change that. If the Fugue wasn't recorded, it would take a new shoot to record it - and I doubt such a shoot would be a priority for Rob and the crew to return to the organ bearing in mind the focus of his channel. There is a lot about the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor BWV 565 attributed to J S Bach online. The sheet music is at hz.imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/a/a8/IMSLP129534-WIMA.1a4a-Bach_Toccata_Dminor.pdf . The organist Fraser Gartshore discusses the work at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNtgZct4xtLYhZs.html (he's yet to post his recording, but he has been ill). There is the spectacular - and in light of the subsequent fire, rather emotional - 2019 recording by Olivier Latry on the grand orgue de Notre Dame de Paris at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5ilqKhmv7eyZnU.html (whilst a French symphonic organ in a very reverberant cathedral is not the tonal palette or acoustic you would most naturally associated with German baroque music, I believe Latry's performance is a tour de force).

That's baroque music for you

Once I saw ur prof pic I read "Bach uses Piccardy thirds!" as it was a Pokémon fight lmao

You got the whole of the Toccata. The Fugue seemingly wasn't recorded - but this is really just a 'bonus' video of a demonstration recorded whilst making Rob's video about the organ - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gMtyZq2fsNachKM.html . There are plenty of other recordings of Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 out there - it's probably the most recorded organ work attributed to J S Bach (whose authorship of this work is disputed). Though a French Symphonic organ in a very reverberant building would not normally be the first choice for recording this work and certainly would alarm a baroque purist, the recording by Olivier Latry in Notre Dame earlier this year has deep emotional ramifications following the fire - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5ilqKhmv7eyZnU.html . The grand organ was in fine form following its 2014 restoration - this was one of the last (perhaps the last) recording before the fire.
