- Brand new research has unearthed the absence of any semblance of the note 'A' in J.S. Bach's famous 'Toccata in D minor' (BWV 565). This ground-breaking discovery completely reshapes the perception of this notorious work.
Uploaded on Monday 1st April 2024 and recorded on the 16 stop 1975 (restored 2005) Flentrop organ of the Little Oratory, London.

I’m stunned by your findings. Not only is this note never present in pieces of music, but in truth it seems the letter you mention is never seen in the entirety of English writing. Even now I discover I’m not using it to write this comment, try though I might! Well done sir! (One more word: I hope you do not debunk more vowels- writing will be much more difficult without them)
awesome post
😂😂... keeping your face straight is as great as your marvellous organ playing!! Well done... I love it!!
Brilliant nt Ben! Th nks for sh ring!
Ben, you are quite the comedian. You had me going for about 45 seconds. The sheer nonsense of your premise had me scratching my head momentarily, but then I realized April fools was a couple days ago. Got me!
BRVO ! Brillint, Ben !
Brilliant! And the performance had me in stitches.
Fntstic Ben, you re mzing! 😀
Now I want to hear BWV 543 ...
Hil rious Ben! 👏👏. I love the re l thing.
It’s not unusual for a church organ to have notes missing !
Pipes aswell
How many takes did it it take you to avoid accidentally playing any of the A's?
It must be harder to okay without the ‘A’ notes. How many retakes when the A was plyed by mistke
The Toccat is so much more difficult to pl y. It becomes so virtuoso. Ben´s first pril´s humor is gre t.
ah yes, the true mental stability of the organist
As a boy, I saw an old black and white "historical" film which King George III dressed as a penguin sat at a chamber organ, which sounded like the RAH organ at full bore, and played the Toccata in d minor. Even at that tender age I found it inauthentic.
I mean, if Ligeti proved anything (and i’ve never been convinced myself), it wasn’t so much the potential existence of (what we’ll call here, for the sake of argument) “A” as much that, even IF it were to hypothetically exist, it couldn’t alongside any of the confirmed pitches in the series Bb-G# - one or any of the others would rapidly and explosively destabilise, with horrific results.
were the a-pipes removed?
Tht ws gret!
love it!
Truly Bch's msterpiece!
I wonder what the Fugue sounds like without any A's!
When every good room in uni is full and you have to practice on the shit organ with missing notes:
It took me a few seconds before I remembered my mom told me I had something on my nose this morning.
You're the schol_r Benji!
Love it 😂
Fbulous! I'm mzed how the Tocct sounded with the missing notes - performed with gret plomb! JSB will've sighed: "Sehr gut - eine Verbesserung!" (No first letter of the lphbet in Deutsch either!)
This is well done 😂😂😂🎉
A as in April 1
And the first note sounded in every performance.
🙂
Where's the fugue???
Hppy pril fool's dy from ndrew the rdvk
the proof is in the pudding as they say
mzing reserch indeed. It ll mkes sense now! 🤣
Huh😂… that’s a good one bruh
I watched the full video before I realized is was April Fools (did know that the whole thing was sarcastic though): your humour, even for a dutchman like me, is ‘m’zingly dry
Germany didn't exist until 1871... Bach would have said he was from Schsen.
🤣How much practicing has that taken, wow!
Just a tiny one: Deutschl nd actually does have an A, just not pronounced the English "a" but the German Ah...... H ppy 1st of pril
