Thank you so very much! ...... both old and new renditions were Very Excellent! Bach may be dead and gone .... but his genius lives on forever in his music!
It' s basically a categorizing system for the pieces made by Bach - there's a lot. BWV stands for Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis, German for Bach-Works-Catelogue. There is a lot of pieces so this basically categorizes them into his works.
Good call. This organ (Trost organ of Waltershausen) uses a modified meantone temperament with A=466.8 HZ which makes it sound about a semitone higher.
With regard to the issue of the couplers being on and off in different shots, my feeling is the audio was probably recorded with the couplers on, but the video was a one-camera shoot and the performer had to play the piece at least twice to get every shot on film.
@friedrichsacher it takes a while to let in the air in those pipes... if you do this with (most) of the lower and even some higher pipes. the finger just isnt pressed on long enough to let the air sound through it. "The more you know"
I love this a lot! Organs fascinate me, especially when pieces such as this are played really well. But I was wondering why it sounds like it's in A-flat minor when it looks like he's playing in G minor? It doesn't really bother me, but I'm curious: is it the recording equipment, or is it the organ?
Yes Ntalikeris666 - they are off with no noticable sound difference. I did think that this was due to the pedel being uncoupled from the great - but i don't think so. Maybe theres a professional organist on here who might clarify??
Why must we trade in video and audio quality in order to get those last 3 seconds? I think I prefer to watch the first video with its full-size picture and stereo sound.
I scrolled down to see if anyone else noticed... Thanks A Jalapeno for the answer! A 466.8 Hz!! Wow! Had no idea people tuned some of these instruments so high!
466 Hz/ Chorton Pitch was an early Baroque pitch used in the time of Bach (along with Kammerton 415HZ), 440 didn't come until later as a compromise. This organ was built in 1741 in the time of Bach so it is tuned as such.

I thought that people wanted to see the full piece rather than the old video which was cut short by 3 seconds at the end. So here is the re-upload.

This is my favourite fugue. Thank you.
Oh my goodness, I love Bach's music. I'm not sure if anybody else will every be able to create such enrapturing music.
This piece fascinates me. I have heard it depressing but this light and lively even though in minor key. Thank you!!!
ahhhh wow i love this piece!! and he plays it extremely well on a beautiful instrument!! thank you for posting :)
around the 4th minute, I had tears...incredible....thank you Bach.
This has the baroque sound that is so authentic!

the theme is so exciting...
very well performed fugue BWV 542/2 :-)

@clashtitans2 thanks for this. the last 3 seconds of the piece somehow seem most important!
This is BWV 542 by the way. ;-)
But as always I enjoy master Stamm's excellent performances.
Hans Andre Stamm!!!!!!!
I wish I'd been there when this piece was being plaid...!
@clashtitans2 thanks for the correction. I enjoyed it very much!!!
Yeah, and the coppel attached in first part, and detached in second... ;)
OK, can anybody tell me why while on 3:55 the lower manual is coupled, whereas on 4:05, (with the same registration) the coupler is off?
Hermoso

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLL from 0:34( 3 cards) to 1:33 ( 6 cards)
When he did it??????
hmmmm....photo-montage?? :D:D
he plays very good :)

yea thats the most likely.
because he wrote a fantasie that goes with it. here, only the fugue is performed
yea, but the sound is the same, with or without couplers.
i was quite confused until I discovered you mistaked the title: should be 542/2 instead of 541/2
@guldalex Pazienza, perchè ho il fiero sospetto che l'esecuzione sia in una sorta di playback!
@friedrichsacher I hear the trill.
That's what I was thinking! But why?
wow, i just stumbled into a goldmine
lol ur right XD
This is the fugue of BWV 542,not BWV 541
How sharp is that organ tuned? Or... was the playback speed increased?

Forse 542/2
cazzo!poteva tenerlo di più l'ultimo accordo di tonica!
Isnt this BWV 542 not 541?
I am not quite understand what are you trying to say :D
This is 542. Why does it say 541/2
The organ has a strange arrangement of the stops lol
What?
Misleading title. It's not BWV 541 it's BWV 542 instead.
Probably 'authentic' temperament and pitch which makes it sound flat to your ears I guess.

It's the organ. Organs were tuned differently in the time of Bach.
