My music professor said that legend has it that another organist challenged Bach to see who was better. Apparently the guy heard Bach warming up, and left town that night so that Bach wouldn't completely embarrass him in front of the entire town.
helter1234 Yes , It realy happened it was the French Organist and Composer Louis Marchand in Dresden/Saxony whowas invited to an organ competition by the King of Saxony 1717, as he was listening to the art of organ playing by J.S.Bach he left Dresden in a hurry during the night.
helter1234 It´s even better! He didn´t hear him play. It´s told he just heard him tune his harpsichord! And there´s even an explanation: Bach used the "Wohltemperierte Stimmung" (well temperament) which allowed him to play in any key he wanted, without making adjustments on the instrument. That must have been so groundbreaking to Marchand, that he simply resigned before even competing with Bach. But to save Marchands honour: He was and is an amazing french baroque composer who wrote wonderful pieces himself in the tradition of the old style.You can´t compare him to the "modern" stuff Bach offered his audience.
Imagine writing this, seriously. All those voices, ever in danger of sounding dissonant and disharmonious. But it just comes together like a masterpiece
and contrary to others Bach believed you must have the whole music in your head before writing it down while most and today maybe all musicians sit for example on a piano and create along the way by playing and listening and experimenting. Bach didn't allow his sons to do that :D this really blows my mind...to create all this in your head....some of his stuff is 30min+
this music plays intervals that the church illegalised because of their connection to Satan, the tritone. this is not well-written music, infact, it is the reason Bach was condemned to obcurity
@@peterfrank6216 Reminds me of Mozart, and how he wrote the overture of Don Giovanni on the morning of the premiere. Only because his wife pestered him so, to get up off his lazy ass. He had it in his mind for months and months.
I can never wrap my mind around how Bach created these brilliant pieces. That he hears it in his mind's ear first, then writes and performs it is beyond me. Where does it come from.✨
You are right, but given some of the slower renditions of Bach (e.g. Varnus, Trifonov), I lean much towards the latter. Life is too short to play Bach too fast.
No, estás equivocado, el código secreto de la inmortalidad lo tiene la Rapsodia Húngara N2. La fuga en sol menor BWV 578 tiene el código secreto del contrapunto ultra-armónico a 3 melodías.
After all these years, this is still my favourite performance of this piece. The power and tempo that it’s being played at is just perfect. Anything slower and it feels like it’s dragging.
The way it starts so powerfully instead of airy like in a lot of other recording also really emphasizes the G minor key a lot better, helps you to really f e e l this work
The best interpretation was made by the ingenious Hans Joachim Erhard. I experienced enlightenment while he played in the church of Lauterbach. There is no recording of it ... but this organ player was absolutely ingenious - he was my teacher!
How can someone dislike this, even if it's not your cup of tea, musically? The composition by Bach is out of this world, and played masterfully on an incredibly crafted instrument inside an epic cathedral. Are these the same people that don't believe the pyramids were built by humans, and we didn't travel to the moon?
Haha totally! Even if you ignore the absolute genuis who created this unrivaled fugue, surely just watching those fingers and feet moving at the same time with such intricate execution is enough to affirm the magnificence of this video.
Bach is my favourite composer. His work is just breathtaking, stunning. It stirs me. There is no composer like him, as far as I am concerned. His work is unequaled.
For me, it depends on what mood I'm in. Bach suits me just fine, but more often than not I'm listening to Vivaldi. I'm truly sick of Beethoven and Mozart, but Handel, Brahms Telemann... sometimes.
Micah Treptau This one is rather playable for Bach, altough it still consumes quite some time to get it down perfectly. You would need an army of brains for the Passacagila :D
+Lukas Floß xD .. do you make your statement out of your own experience? I mean do you play organ yourself? this question is not intended to be provocative if you guess so. The reason is instead, that i startet playing organ about 3 yrs ago. After i first listened to Bachs Passacaglia and especially the monumental final of the Fugue, i said to my sister: "when i will be able to play this Passacaglia one day, i would die happily." Spoken, i bought myself a midi-basspedal and an e-piano (both together for about 1k euro). Then i started practising very hard (when i had the time, because i actually was studying chemical engineering, which was allready pretty time consuming) and to my own surprise i could play the Passacaglia and the last 1 1/2 pages of the Fugue after 8 months or so, but i never thought, that it would be one of the hardest pieces written by the master Bach. Maybe i have to add, that i played allready piano back then when i was younger for about 7 years and unfortunately made break of about 10 years. I would appreciate it, if you would take your time to listen to my test-recording of the Passacaglia, which i uploaded on my channel (better the piano version and not the organ version, in the organ version i did plenty of mistakes :S). Even though i was enthousiastic after learning the Passacaglia i didnt start to learn the entire Fugue yet (because i prefer to play more piano literature) but soon i want to be capable of playing the whole BWV 582. I hope i will make it through it soon ^^
I've got chills running all over me. It's astonishing to hear and see an instrument in our day and age devoid of electricity and surpass sounds of 2021 is magnificent and truly a privilege to witness. When people had less to work with they accomplished more. To play Bach with such a perfect instrument like this must be heaven.
His skills and ingenuity for his time were good however I’d be willing to argue that the composers of the classical era such as Beethoven or Mozart were able to expand on his foundation and create something more genius
and i thought piano looked difficult but the organ is a whole other level, it looks and sounds like you are playing a separate piece for each hand very impressive
It takes a lot of mental energy to even attempt a fugue. This man has my respect, all limbs playing something different but the mind holding the key. I would be that excited if I could play with such accuracy lmao
the crazy part of this piece is that he is playing on and original organ. usually the ones we have today, the keys are of equal weight. If you notice that he has three rows of keys. some of them are connected to the middle keyboard, which he is playing out of. The knobs to the side are telling the pipes how much air is going through them. so some of the keys would be harder to push down. the top and the bottom keyboards represent higher and lower notes. So when he plays on the center keys, other pipes open up to give a fuller sound. thus you would have to push down harder on that key. crazy!
It's called a mechanical action organ. The keys within a keyboard (proper term is a manual) are all the same, and the middle couples to other keyboards by pulling a coupler lever. If you couple both manuals to the great (middle keyboard) the actuation force is roughly 3-4 pounds per key, but it's the same for all of the keys on the keyboard. The bottom keyboard is called the ruckpositive and the top is called the swell. The great is always the most powerful, usually followed by the swell and then the ruckpositive. No matter what you do with the stops and couplers, all the keys on a single keyboard will be the same weight as the rest, the only difference would be when one hand is on one manual and another is on a different manual. This organ reminds me of a Brombaugh organ which I play quite often, very nice instruments.
I absolutely love the pedalling at 2:32! Brilliant!! It looks like 'If in doubt (which I obviously understand he is absolutely not in doubt) just throw everything you've got at it!' He literally stamps on the last notes of that sequence! I love it!!!!
Ton Koopman is, by far, the most entertaining organist to watch that I have found. I love the technical brilliance of Karl Richter, but Ton's passion shows in his playing... thank you for uploading this.
I am a composer myself and I can say that you don't see stuff as intense and technically articulated being written anymore. A masterpiece on all levels levels
Göttlich, göttlich, danke Gott für diese Musik. Und Koopman ist ein Genie. Keiner spielt es ergreifender und emotionaler als er. Unfassbar mitreissend. Er berührt den Himmel!
That organ even has foot keys! And he's even using his feet!! WOW! ~Seriously, I remember watching this when I was 13 years old and playing piano tiles, I remember finding it absolutely insane back then lol and is still actually insane to watch!

I heard someone play this in public and I immediately thought hey were playing Red Baron. But it was a little off, so I decided to look it up and discovered that the intro was heavily inspired by this composition! It’s interesting how classic music can make it into every genre without people even knowing. Also, I’m so glad I found another Sabaton fan. The Red Baron is one of my favorites.
congratulations asshole , you made me sad . the thing i don't like about songs is they are self focused . no matter what song you choose , each song has a different story to tell and it's almost allwase about a guy or a girl that allwase look like the good hero . if they are succefull or in love then their good life makes them winners , if they are sad and stuck a shitty life so the fact they living in self pitty and ranting their life also makes them winners . no matter what situation the singer will be at he is allwawse the focus of the song and he is allwase the good guy , the cool guy
Just looked up the song you're referencing. I think it's an understatement to say their song was 'heavily inspired by it,' lol. They ripped the entire intro from this song, brother.

The tempo is fast, as it was written. This is great. Organists are amazing. Imagine playing an instrument with all four of your appendages!! That's what they do.
When I was younger, i heard this, and since have had this piece stuck in my head for 20+ years. Could never remember who wrote it or find it or the artist. Everyday, on repeat all these years. Then heard it slightly on Shrek, and recognized it immediately. I am so relieved to have the answer to who wrote it and hear it again. It has brought me piece and I now listen to it everyday in real life instead of my memory, and I can't help but say, thank you so much!! Love it, have always loved it!
A conversation between different voices all repeating variations of the same, simple melodic theme. Usually you'd need separate people using words to express this dynamic, not just music alone. Fugues are amazing. There's nothing like them. God inspired.
No matter how many times I listen to this it always makes me want to laugh out loud from the sheer joy of the music. So much life and energy crammed into 3 minutes. And wonderful camera work from the head banging to the fancy footwork. Quintessential Bach.

We studied this wonderful piece of contrapuntal composition for general musicianship in school. I still sing it in my head when I am buzzing around. G D B A G BAG F A D....ahh.
This is an exceptional performance and do not drop the pedals. Some pianists are not accustomed to hearing music written on three staves. The second bass clef adds depth and is an integral part of the song. Thank you for the performance as I am currently learning this piece (for pipe organ). This video has helped me with some technical aspects of performance as I just started taking lessons a few months ago (I used to play piano/synth).
TheMidnightGamer That's a good question. I've realized that 'worship' isn't the correct word to describe what I meant. I meant that all of Bach's music, despite him being Lutheran, was devoted to God. So in appreciation of his devotion, it seems fitting to say that his music was sacred.

Ton Koopman is, by far, the most entertaining organist to watch that I have found. I love the technical brilliance of Karl Richter, but Ton's passion shows in his playing... thank you for uploading this.
But I prefer him to show his passion not with headbanging but with music
@@williamfossardo6052 there are way more "exaggerated" reactions than just this. Head banging is the very tip of the iceberg.

What’s amazing about this is too often Bach’s lyrical style is given a romantic approach. He steams through this and doesn’t look back.

When the bass line joins the upper-register it gave me shivers. So brilliant.
I am a composer myself and I can say that you don't see stuff as intense and technically articulated being written anymore. A masterpiece on all levels levels
Göttlich, göttlich, danke Gott für diese Musik. Und Koopman ist ein Genie. Keiner spielt es ergreifender und emotionaler als er. Unfassbar mitreissend. Er berührt den Himmel!

Man and machine and nothing there in between
The flying circus and a man from Prussia
The sky and a plane, this man commands his domain
The western front and all the way to Russia
Death from above, you're under fire
Stained red as blood, he's roaming higher
Born a soldier from the horseback to the skies
That's where the legend will arise
And he's flying
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
First to the scene, he is a lethal machine
It's bloody April and the tide is turning
Fire at will, it is the thrill of the kill
Four in a day shot down with engines burning
Embrace the fame, red squadron leader
Call out his name: "Rote Kampfflieger"
In the game to win, a gambler rolls the dice
Eighty allies paid the price
And he's flying
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
Higher

He's flying too fast, again, he's flying too high

The legend will never die
Higher, the king of the sky

I heard someone play this in public and I immediately thought hey were playing Red Baron. But it was a little off, so I decided to look it up and discovered that the intro was heavily inspired by this composition! It’s interesting how classic music can make it into every genre without people even knowing. Also, I’m so glad I found another Sabaton fan. The Red Baron is one of my favorites.
lil bro just putting entire sabaton - red baron song lyrics in classic music comment section 💀💀💀
congratulations asshole , you made me sad .
the thing i don't like about songs is they are self focused . no matter what song you choose , each song has a different story to tell and it's almost allwase about a guy or a girl that allwase look like the good hero . if they are succefull or in love then their good life makes them winners , if they are sad and stuck a shitty life so the fact they living in self pitty and ranting their life also makes them winners . no matter what situation the singer will be at he is allwawse the focus of the song and he is allwase the good guy , the cool guy
Just looked up the song you're referencing. I think it's an understatement to say their song was 'heavily inspired by it,' lol. They ripped the entire intro from this song, brother.

The tempo is fast, as it was written. This is great. Organists are amazing. Imagine playing an instrument with all four of your appendages!! That's what they do.
Something about the fill at 0:27 gives me chills. too good.
Liam Anderson me xD
i was just thinking about that too... it escaltes and escalates into a red alert and just keeps going
It warms my heart that this has received over 5 million views. Culture is not dead.
When I was younger, i heard this, and since have had this piece stuck in my head for 20+ years. Could never remember who wrote it or find it or the artist. Everyday, on repeat all these years. Then heard it slightly on Shrek, and recognized it immediately. I am so relieved to have the answer to who wrote it and hear it again. It has brought me piece and I now listen to it everyday in real life instead of my memory, and I can't help but say, thank you so much!! Love it, have always loved it!

In this context it is incorrect to use the name Jesus. His name should not be taken in vain.
A conversation between different voices all repeating variations of the same, simple melodic theme. Usually you'd need separate people using words to express this dynamic, not just music alone. Fugues are amazing. There's nothing like them. God inspired.

No matter how many times I listen to this it always makes me want to laugh out loud from the sheer joy of the music. So much life and energy crammed into 3 minutes. And wonderful camera work from the head banging to the fancy footwork. Quintessential Bach.

Awesome to hear this piece played on the instrument that it was written for. You just gotta love a pipe organ in a cathedral.

Ton Koopman's performance has captivated me since I started listening to him. It's what I imagine Bach would have sounded like when he played!
We studied this wonderful piece of contrapuntal composition for general musicianship in school. I still sing it in my head when I am buzzing around.
G D B A G BAG F A D....ahh.
Watched this in my music appreciation class today and oh my god. This is beyond fantastic.
After hearing the remix of this in Catherine, I went on a Bach Fugue binge: this is still my favourite.
wheres that
Heard a remix of this in Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's treasure.
espik20 ikr xD Jean franscois vs Phantom R c:
Same thing, but Replace Catherine with Megaman Legends ^^;
SlowWolf I like the ‘Dorian’ as my personal favorite, but this one is next!
I can’t believe this is possible. Absolutely amazing.
what an amazing piece and interpretation. Chapeau Dr. Koopman.
This is an exceptional performance and do not drop the pedals. Some pianists are not accustomed to hearing music written on three staves. The second bass clef adds depth and is an integral part of the song. Thank you for the performance as I am currently learning this piece (for pipe organ). This video has helped me with some technical aspects of performance as I just started taking lessons a few months ago (I used to play piano/synth).
have you stuck with the organ?
The transition to the major form of the riff at 1:36 is just beautiful
Absolutely exquisite and as Bach always intended- all the glory to God.
This reminds me with :
The Red Baron
BLUE LOBSTER

And now lets also apreciate the hard workouts all those Guys working the bellows had, in the Centuries before modern Pressured air Supply.
Megaman Legends 1 brought me here. RIP a golden era to my childhood that introduced me to classical.
Always one of my favorites. Excellent performance, beautiful organ.
How pitch standards have changed. I know this piece well, but have not played or heard it in A Minor! The change is actually refreshing.
Jay Preis ... its still being played in A minor, yes the key is still G minor , but with the way organs like that are tuned it comes out as A minor
@@Malikjardine I hear an Ab minor, but I don't know if I am wrong.
Baroque high pitch (chorton): a = 473 hz
This represents the glory of God so very well. Best sacred music I have ever heard.
If its "worship" music then why was it used in horror games such as Mad Father? doesn't seem so holly now does it.
TheMidnightGamer That's a good question. I've realized that 'worship' isn't the correct word to describe what I meant. I meant that all of Bach's music, despite him being Lutheran, was devoted to God. So in appreciation of his devotion, it seems fitting to say that his music was sacred.
And on March 31, 1685, God said "Let there be Bach" and it was good
BLUE LOBSTA SPOTTED!11!@1!!
I like the color design of the keyboard. It's like a light tie on a dark suit.
Keyboard instruments from the Baroque period were commonly designed like this because ebony was more readily available than ivory, I believe. c:
should have stayed that way
I think they changed it because when the "big" keys are black, it's harder to differentiate between each key.
@@rubiksmaster301 heute vor 2 Jahren (03.09.2017) ich kriege die Nachricht von Peter (Name geändert) "Jürgen (Name geändert) muss um 17 Uhr gehen deswegen um halb" so was gab's noch nie und sollte in der Form auch nicht wieder vorkommen. Dann trifft man auf irgendwelche arschgefickten Hurensöhne, die einen ähnlichen (oder noch besseren) Prozess/Situation als am 09.04.2017 verhindern ...
Mögen sie auf ewig verflucht sein und in der Hölle schmoren. Denen sollen als Vorspiel die Augen verbunden und die Schuhe ausgezogen werden, um sie in einen dunklen Raum oder Zimmer (Ich berichtete: ua-cam.com/video/ZTNej2USaYk/v-deo.html ) voller Legosteine zu schicken.
So viel dazu. Am 06. April 2018 sollte alles nachgeholt werden. Aber jedes Ereignis ist einzigartig und umso bedauerlicher ist es dass solche Arschgeigen da einschreiten.
Naja damals war man noch zufrieden mit allem und dankbar für alles was man an Js kriegt.
Daher als Markierung des Ereignisses diese Musik (Ich verzichte an dieser Stelle bewusst auf direkte Parallelen zu Bn, Ln und co!). Ich war damals in so einer Piano tiles Phase. Und als Ohrwurm hatte ich keinen blöden Schlager, sondern diese Fuge Nr. 16 von J. S. Bach in G-Moll. Das Repertoire von Afric Simone schien ausgeschöpft gewesen zu sein ("Shaka" sollte mich ca ein Jahr später eines besseren belehren, ua-cam.com/video/pxvZaKj9zAM/v-deo.html Ich schweife schon wieder ab...).
Ich schreie anstatt zu reden und körnigen Frischkäse kann man auch aus Quark und Mais herstellen. Da spart man Geld. Mal eben das 2000. Bild auf der SD Karte schießen. "Nickel(II)Chlorid-Hexahydrat-Unterhose". Schönes Grün. Übrigens am 03.09.2017 fand die allererste "Geschichte"-Fahrt statt. Ich eschauffier mich allerdings auch leicht über Peter (Name geändert). Es hatte 2 Tage nicht geregnet und da soll es nass sein???!

Feels so modern even though its over 300 years old.
