Katelyn, this is so gracious and flowing. It sounds like just like an instrumental trio with each line afforded the full attention of the player. Masterful.
Bravissima, Katelyn! Everything about your performance is pure perfection. You make it sound so fluid and easy that unsuspecting souls might think "Oh, I could play this." Uh, don't think so!
Katelyn, this is a really beautiful performance! I'm impressed by your technical mastery; this is no easy music but you make it look effortless. Wonderful, wonderful work!
A magnificently fluid and elegant performance on a really FINE instrument in which each line is clear, clean, and just plain BEAUTIFUL. I want a DOBSON organ!
They certainly are, I agree - just as space as ventils are engaged or disengaged in French romantic music adds to the performance, since this practicality was a part of the music-making! In this particular case, and for an experiment through the remainder of the Sonatas to be posted, I chose to construct each Sonata with space chosen for breath and phrased silence, but not “demanded” because of practicality (changing stops, changing score), something I find particularly interesting since these weren’t pieces made “for performance” per se. An experiment made possible only through UA-cam, or in performances of these transcribed for instruments besides the organ, or in performances on pedal clavichord, harpsichord, or one registration. 😊
Could you possibly share the registrations for each movement? I sense some "creative" use of the stops, perhaps played up or down an octave for a more musical result? Your playing is fluid, musical and just plain fun!
That's putting the cat among the pigeons now, Rene!! Registrations will now be included in the description below the video. Here are the ones for this Sonata: I Vivace Swell: 8' Gedackt, 4' Koppelflöte, 2' Gemshorn (right hand) Great: 4' Octave (left hand) Pedal: 16' Bourdon, 8' Principal Pedal Unison coupler II Lento Swell: 8' Gedackt (left hand) Great: 8' Rohrflöte (right hand) Pedal: 16' Bourdon Pedal Octave coupler III Allegro: Swell: 8' Salicional, 4' Principal, 2' Gemshorn (right hand) Great: 8' Rohrflöte, 4' Oktave (left hand) Pedal: 16' Bourdon, 8' Principal Pedal Unison coupler Pedal Octave coupler
@@KatelynEmerson MEOW!! (From Tigger, the cat!) Listening to your wonderful performances, I was fascinated by your registrations and thought that you may be playing certain lines down an octave for the musical balance that worked best. The beauty of creative registration is that the music is given a new perspective and personality. You are the "painter" and the canvas is your "creation!"
Whoah, you graceful star! In future recordings, please can we have some Willem Tanke style close ups of your hands and feet? You are remote, which puts Bach at too much of a distance from us, your audience? I need to witness how his phenomenal communication is possible? To do your playing real justice, please do this?
Elegantly played! This masterpiece is done to perfection!
I agree.
Katelyn, this is so gracious and flowing. It sounds like just like an instrumental trio with each line afforded the full attention of the player. Masterful.
Yes ! The ensemble is absolute perfection. I cannot imagine a more beautiful performance of this piece.
elegance and delicacy in the interpretation ... congratulations Katelyn 👏👏🙌
I think Bach would be very proud.
A beautifully spirited and effortless performance,, a joy to both hear and watch you play!
Bwv530 II Lento...Sublime!
Bravo bravo bravo super wow
Bravissima, Katelyn! Everything about your performance is pure perfection. You make it sound so fluid and easy that unsuspecting souls might think "Oh, I could play this." Uh, don't think so!
Wonderful performance Katelyn!
Good heavens, this needs more views! Clearly and delicately played.
I like that your registrations are simple, yet distinct for the three voices.
Stellar performance, this is as Bach meant it to be!
Exactly, a beautiful pace and registration, which enhances this piece.
(volgens mij bent u Nederlands, toch maar even in het Engels).

This was the best version of the 'Allegro' I ever heard! 🤗 Well done! Subscribed!!!
Interpretazione impeccabile. Bravissima!
Poised and elegant playing, always. Some delightful added ornamentation, c'est vraiment parfait, Katelyn!
Beautiful! The three parts equal yet distinct. I was spellbound!
A really fine performance, Katelyn - I've just discovered your channel! Best wishes from the UK.

@@freemandryden2275 I agree with you!
Beautiful playing, and love the left foot pedal rest which you use so nicely! 😊👍🏼
Beautiful !
Well done!
Bravo !
Beautiful. Thanks Katelyn!
One little thing: i would not cut out the shots where you change your registrations, they are also part of the performance...
They certainly are, I agree - just as space as ventils are engaged or disengaged in French romantic music adds to the performance, since this practicality was a part of the music-making!

That's definitely not easy to play.
