- In the church of The Holy Cross, Warsaw, Poland where Chopin's heart rests, we had the special opportunity to film Jonathan's arrangement (originally for solo piano) of Chopin's Prelude in E Minor Op. 28 No. 4 on the Pipe Organ built by Cäcilia Organ Builders, Salzburg. The piece is especially poignant as it was requested, by Chopin, to be played on the organ at his funeral. It was performed at his funeral service on 30th August 1849 by the organist Lefébure-Wély at the Church of the Madeleine, Paris, France.
Chopin was buried in Paris but he requested that his heart be taken to Poland and buried in a local church. Chopin was also an organist who played the organs in the area around this church in Warsaw.
We hope you enjoy it. Jonathan & Tom
The Score of this arrangement is available in "The Sometime Organist" digital PDF book here: www.scottbrothersduo.com/the-...

How poignant .A sensitive and well transcribed performance of Chopin's chosen Funeral service Prelude performed next to his heart. Thank you both.
This is probably the most recognizable organ in Poland. You can hear it every Sunday 9 a.m. in Polish Radio (PR1 broadcasts Holy Mass from this church). Stunning rendition (as well as Chopin's Polonaise and Nocturne at All Saints Church).
Many many thanks to you Jonathan and Tom.
A deeply reflective performance enhanced by the first image of the chandelier radiating in a heart shape. ❤ Surely Chopin would be touched by this musical and visual tribute. Thank you for sharing. 💐💐🎹🎶
Oh wow, that really was hauntingly beautiful! It brought tears to my eyes. The back story makes it even more poignant. Thank you both for this wonderful video. xx
Beautiful organ and church there in Warsaw and once again very well played by you! I would like to ask you if you could play the Prelude in C major by J.C. Kellner on the organ soon, if you have time?
An unusual transcription poignantly performed on organ . Lovely!
Great performance, I still cannot snap out of shock after your stunning performance in NOSPR, Katowice
Hauntingly beautiful. Marvelous performance. Thank you!
Tom’s cinematography projects the apparent trance like state of Johnathan. Bravo!
I truly enjoyed this wonderful performance of a work written by one of Europe's greatest composers! The church in Warsaw and the Chopin memorial were wonderful to see! Thank you for sharing this marvelous video.....Will Ortiz
Вы учите меня чувствовать и понимать музыку . Спасибо !!!❤
While in Marseilles, Chopin played the organ during a requiem mass for the tenor *Adolphe Nourrit* on April 24, 1839: he played a transcription of Franz Schubert's Lied *Die Sterne.* George Sand described Chopin's playing in a letter dated the 28th of April, 1839:
Chopin sacrificed himself by playing the organ at the Elevation - and what an organ! Anyhow our boy made the best of it by using the less discordant stops, and he played Schubert's Die Sterne, not with a passionate and glowing tone that Nourrit used, but with a plaintive sound as soft as an echo from another world. Two or three at most among those present felt its meaning and had tears in their eyes.
[Adolphe Nourrit was the first to sing a high C full chest voice, not falsetto. When he called on Rossini, Nourrit was told he was most welcome, but that he would need to leave his C at the door and take it with him again when he left!]
Very beautiful and sensitiv piece of Chopin wonderfully played❤️love the organ sound
I love hearing the backstories on these lovely pieces. It makes them somehow more personal. Thanks, as always. XX
It's a beautiful and very sad prelude! However, I really liked it! Thank you both! ❤❤
I never knew Chopin was an organist as well!
Amazing music as always!
Absolutely beautiful Jonathan and excellent sound and filming by you Tom. Sometimes words are so inadequate. Thank you both. xx
Soft and beautiful music. It's good for the soul. Thanks! 🥰🙏
So beautiful. Thank you. ❤
Hallo!!
This piece from Chopin is beautiful! Also he was a great componist with sensitive arrangements. Thanks B B❤❤
Tom for the beautiful filming again.
With Love from the Netherlands.
Bravissimo ! Quel talent et quelle interprétation magnifique 🙏❣️
Great music and fantastic player !
Awesone as ever.
Very nice workmanship, I'm waiting for the rest. I recommend a trip to Podlasie😉
A melancholy and thoughtful piece, finely played. From Chicago, U.S.A. Warsaw's Sister City.
Beautiful in every way. Thank you.
Wonderful Jonathan!👏👏👏👏 I love Chopin!❤
As always amazingly masterful interpretation and performance.
Wunderschön, nur mit Superlativen zu bezeichnen!
Die Orgelregister tragen zwar polnische Namen, das instrument aber entstammt einer österreichischen Orgelbaufirma.
Interessanterweise sind die Farben, die die Fahnen beider Länder aufweisen, rot und weiß.
Wooow ❤ Im with Poland but not from this city
Дополню комментарий ...
Я несколько раз еще прослушала это произведение и прочитала о нем .
Я поняла печаль Шопена . Наверное он сожалел о своих грехах .❤
Please Forte's intro in Beauty and the beast.
Quite something to ask that one of your own compositions be played at your own funeral! Not hubris, I think, though.
(Sadly, this piece does little for me [nothing wrong with it, and of course JS's playing is wonderful]; I like the back story, though.)
Much too sad I'm afraid.

Beautiful in every way. Thank you.
