    .. .and so I have landed at 'Wir Christenleut' and find, to my delight, that this was an episode I didn't know. There was much fascinating discussion on phrasing and articulation. Food for thought as always. Btw I find that repeat entirely convincing. Being also a user of Novello/Emery it came as something of a surprise but it is surely a refrain befitting the joyous, volkstuemlich, irrepressible character of the piece, as if the preacher shouts out to the organist, "Give us that chorus again!" (I have actually heard this happen...) I note that Jellema for the Netherlands Bach Society also does the repeat.

    When you discuss how Bach built on Buxtehude's model, I'm reminded of Nadia Boulanger's maxim about how one achieved originality by 'unwitting infidelity' to a model. I got over a bout of writer's block by following this idea - I started writing pieces by using a model to spark my imagination. I've just learned Dutch Adams Fall, which is why I'm watching this video. The pedal line is a lot of fun! I can't wait to break it out some time this Advent 😀

      Yes, that's a really good concept - and a very good way of composing. All the great composers of the past built on and transformed things that had inspired them - though not usually as obviously as in this piece! But I agree it's a great work, and I love playing it too. Tim

    Hi, My dears, who are reading me. I looked for the very last composed piece of music by Brahms. And I guess, I found it. I wanted to see how Brahms 'developed' at the end of his life. I'm convinced there has been a development. I'm so amazed about this piece of music----I listened to it four times----and the whole interwoven harmonic and melodic, the great realm of Brahms musical ideas opened up to me!!! A magic moment and experience!!

    I guessed wrongly (but closely, I daresay) that it was Pachelbel. On the basis of being similar in figuration and harmonic idiom to Bach, but slightly earlier. On reflection, a more Pachelbelian structure would have been to have a lengthy section of fantasia for manuals followed by a long-note statement in the pedals with climactic figuration above. Another fine video, much enjoyed!

    Thank you very much for this interesting video! Sometimes I played the prelude myself and I'm positive surprised, that I'm not far away from your approach with my modest skills. But I also heared it played very, very slow and with full organ, sounds like a funeral march. Do you think, it is an option too?

    • @timrishton5871
      @timrishton5871 Місяць тому

      Thank you. I'm very pleased that we're in agreement about the performance style for this piece. I don't like the idea of playing it very slowly and heavily. Often, if the tempo is slowed down very much the pulse of the piece perversely accelerates becase rather than a "crotchet" pulse it sounds like a "quaver" pulse, which then becomes very busy and fussy and does not coincide with the narural harmonic rhythm of the music. And this seems to me to be a gentle and flowing work, so I am not sure that a big full-organ sound quite works. But it's always good to experiment! Tim

    The harmonic language and texture enabled me to guess the era easily, but I didn't know the composer. I did, however, immediately clock that you were playing a Bernard Aubertin organ. I worked at Newcastle University, and we have one there-a marvellous instrument.

    • @timrishton5871
      @timrishton5871 Місяць тому

      Well done to get the style; not really surprising that the composer was rather unfamiliar. I'd heard that there was a new Aubertin at the King's Hall. I last played a concert there on 6 March 1985 - but that, of course, was the old Nigel Church organ, which was still very serviceable at that time. I played Buxtehude and Schmidt, I remember. I was surprised to hear that it needed to be replaced, but I'm sure the new organ will be a great asset!

  • @malcleitch7106
    @malcleitch7106 2 місяці тому

    I rather like the rhapsodic aspect of the prelude, and its harmonic structure. I was thinking whether the pedal entry in the fugue could be bolder, but that might not fit the light dance-like style of the movement.

    I thought it sounded like film or TV music, but I just couldn't place it. I was wondering whether it could be Finzi, but ruled him out because it was supposed to be someone not known for that type of music.

      Finzi was a good idea, although it's not quite "English" enough, maybe. Tim

    There is another argument as to why playing the pedals with toes in 18th century music or older: old pedal board often show that the keys are not positioned horizontally, but that the highes point of each key is situated under the manual(s) and the lowest part is under the bench. This makes using heels uncomfortably, if not almost impossible, certainly in the middle of the pedal board

      That's an interesting point, thank you. Certainly, pedal boards varied from place to place and from builder to builder rather more than they do in our modern, standardised age. I've not really encountered that problem to any great degree, especially in mid-Germany, but it is true that it can often be more comfortable to play with toes on an 18th-century pedal board. Tim

    I really appreciate this video. Thank you! I played this this morning in church, but I have struggled with figuring out how exactly to interpret all these slurs.
