@@ezramarks6081 Imo its just the very first measures. After listening to it many times, its not scary anymore. But the fugue section is nothing but emotion, nothing scary.
Whether it be church musician, brilliant composer or mad scientist, Bach truly has stood the test of time and left a legacy for us to enjoy and express ourselves emotionally. It is true when we say that metalheads love classical, even if they don't know it. Highly recommend Sophia Kiprskaya's performance of this piece at the Mariinsky Theatre, it's beautiful on harp!
I listened to Toccata and Fuga in D Minor for organ when I was 4 years old and I immediately loved it and I always asked my mom to play it. Years later, as a teenage girl, I decided to amplify my interests in the music department and I opened myself to metal music. Needless to say that I loved it immediately too. Right now, in my 40s, I still appreciate both classical and metal music 🎶. My daughter likes both Vivaldi (the 4 Seasons) and metal music too.
It's nice that we can sit down and disect how masterfully Bach played with his pipe, he can finger his organ and produce the most pleasuring notes in the most intelligent way. He truly revolutionized how people play with their pipe, and he's still unsurpassed.
Bach's music is one of the things that began the expansion of my musical taste (along with certain symphonic video game scores) I was just captivated by the way the various voices dance and play off each other.
Bach will always be the number one, it doesn’t matter whenever you should ask that. Bach to the future, Bach to the past, or Bach to the present, always get Bach. Thx 💪👍
This piece and other's by Bach certainly set the stage for all music that follows. As far as an eerie, dark, atmospheric classical piece, Rachmaninov's Isle of the Dead is my favorite.
I first heard this when i watched Disney's Fantasia. Fell in love immediately. There are only a handful of classical pieces that bring me to tears, and this is one.... idc if ppl hate me for it or think less of me. This is a beautiful masterpiece. Jean-Baptiste Dupont's translation is next level, in my opinion.
An excellent video and analysis! This is arguably my all-time favourite piece and your analysis is spot-on. UA-cam videos by Jean-Baptiste Dupont and Gert van Hoef provide insight into the physical and mental challenges of playing this piece.
Im not really an organ fan, although Toccatta and fugue is probably my all time fav classical piece. There are a bunch of transcriptions for brass and wind instruments that make it sound SOO much better
Thank you for the visualization I have no idea how many times I've heard this piece; it's great (no pun intended) to see what each manuel is doing Your videos are all *swell* (this pun intended
🤔…..scariest? No. Absolutely astonishingly, incredibly, almost incomprehensibly the single greatest musical composition ever written? Yes! And major props to you Shred for featuring “Toccata & Fugue in Dm” with some reactions and analysis. Well done. I have listened to many performances of this piece, so may I recommend what I believe to be THE single best interpretation ever?…(and played on the most fantastic pipe organ I have ever heard): Miklos Spanyi, played on the Silbermann Pipe Organ. (Put on the headphones as Spanyi really brings out the bass pedal notes in his interpretation of this piece. And if the final 8 chords don’t bring you to tears…. well….then, you have no soul). 👀 Seriously.
Been listening to that piece since the movie "Rollerball" came out and as many times as I've heard it that visualizer really broke it down. Absolute brilliance.
It’s official: this has become my new favorite channel. The metal/Baroque unity is for real. It’s a siren call to us mentalists and nutters. I am utterly baffled by music theory. It’s incomprehensible. But it matters not. I just keep laughing gutturally and saying yes, yes, I thought I was the only one. Muhahaaaaaa
Great video. Definitely reminded me of what is special about Bach’s music. As regards whether it is “the scariest” classical music piece of all time, I personally believe it is more simply one of the most majestically solemn, gloomy, austere but logically emotional works of the baroque era and the classical music world in general. But that’s not a bad thing - I believe the orchestral version by Stokowski is more scary, but in general the emotion is more controlled and that’s why it holds up, the balance between logical musical structures and emotion is perfect, what his music does best. I would love to see you analyse any of these three works: Stravinsky’s rite of spring, Schoenberg’s five orchestral pieces, and/or Bartok’s music for strings percussion and celesta, for examples of “scary” music. That’s not to say the Toccata and fugue in D minor isn’t scary in its own right, but it is more logical and majestic. Thankyou for reminding me of why Bach was/is so important.
On a side note, this is just my opinion, but whilst the organ works (such as this) sound good no matter what, the orchestral works and cantatas sound best when they’re recorded with a full orchestra and choir in the traditional manner. I’m personally not a fan of HIP (historically informed performance) recordings, as there is little hard evidence for their accuracy; also, I do not believe Bach would have wanted people to look backwards, but would instead have applauded interpretations such as Stokowski’s and Karl Richter’s recordings, for their willingness to bring Bach into the modern world. Bach is eternal, but he needs good performances to really shine. It would be great to see a metal band cover all the famous toccatas, fugues and preludes Bach wrote, or even better to see a symphonic metal version of Bach’s mass in B minor!
Have you considered reviewing Roy Clark ? Particularly Malaguena Legend is that Jimmy Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen were both asked what it was like to be the greatest guitarist in the world and they both replied "Ask Roy Clark"
Oh mighty Shred Master Scott, I kindly request you listen to Trans-Siberian Orchestra's version of Toccatta. I'm looking to learn that song on guitar and post a playthrough of it on my channel some day.
Believe it or not, when I was around 12 this was on my bucket list of things to hear before I ded....Toccata and Fugue on an actual pipe organ in a cathedral. I'm a self taught player and when I was a kid I always modeled my lead ascensions in scales after the part @ 3:48...doubling back on the note previously played. It works!!!!
16th to the mid 18th century was the golden age of music. the sheer power and majesty of the composing can't be matched. the closest we have is today's metal which pales in comparison.
I wouls argue that Keith Emerson's adaptation of the 4th Movement ("Toccata concertata") of Ginastera's 1st Piano Concerto on the Emerson, Lake and Palmer album 'Brain Salad Surgery' is Darker. Where Bach has that 'Gothic' sound, Emerson created a modern Apocalyptic movement. The way it begins and the journey to the end is insane.
My teachers used to think it was weird when I would say Toccata was one of my favorite pieces as a kid. Still is. Steve Ouimette did a guitar cover of it a few years back. It's one of 3(?) versions of Toccata I listen to during Halloween haha. Think anyone's ever done a Bach-Style cover album and called it "Baroque as a Joke"?
My high school in England had one of those organs in the chapel. Was fantastic to hear this played on it live. Scary though? M’eh. Carmina Burana… now that’s scary.
This piece and Ligeti's Requiem are for me some of the most epic , virtuoso, awesome stuff I had to study and play at least by my personal taste. Ofc there are pieces from Penderecki, Rachmaninov, Prokofiev, etc etc etc that are also Grim as fu**, but Bach and Ligeti were in another realm of existence.
I don't know why everyone reacts to the midi version of this song which is played completely incorrect in many parts. The sheet music of the old world is not the same notation rules as modern sheet music and can't be directly transcribed by 1:1 copy. The music mostly tells you the notes but not exact timing and has to be played with a feeling and accounts for an organ's delay from keypress to heard tone. Certain pipe ranks do better with faster notes than others. The organ also lets you couple 1 key to multiple keyboards notes being played in octaves above or below giving it a bigger sound 10 fingers and 2 feet can produce alone. The most brutal 2-foot bass pedal solos on Organ are Bach's too. The repeating riff switching colors is the player doing the keyboard equivalent of sweep picking through a chord scale bouncing between 2 levels of keyboards for each sound tome setting. This is how its properly played: ua-cam.com/video/dX0oKdmphZQ/v-deo.html
Hi, i think you have to listen to it in a Church with an big organ, its completly different. For your purpose the animation might be ok but the real expierience is in the real world with real feelings that the deep (bass) tones move your body.
Some how You pop up to my feed in here, maybe cos I have listened that masterpiece so many times, by different players. And all of them sounds different, OK the organ they use, church/cathedral, there is so many differencies between those things. And ONE I really like is Sinfonity, yeah that guitar orchestra, you know? And then there is also Marcin, that Polish guy with acoustic guitar, doing what ever he wants to do.
Classical music has a ton of cool things going on. I have a CD called Heavy Classics from the 90s. The notes say such n such band got their idea from this, and it would connect the classic to that song from that band. It's pretty cool actually. I do like harpsichord also, which I can't play, but it's nice to listen to n get ideas. As far as this video goes, it's great n the graphics of how the notes flow is a nice visual addition.
Hi, i just checked older Videos, you did a Church organ reaktion. But i think there are better ones with bigger, more soundfull organs, please check out more toccata church organ videos. From Germany.
Pieces like that are much harder for most people to appreciate. I’m personally a huge fan of the more experimental composers. I’ve been thinking about reviewing Modest for a while tho
The visualization helps to see when to arpeggiate, use the Malmsteen techique, and when to navigate up and down. Time to get me some wap juice and finger the G-string.
If you like this check out “Orochimarus Theme” from the Anime Naruto. After hearing this I can see that song was 100% inspired by this piece and it’s great. Sounds very similar
No question that’s true. I needed an angle to make this appealing to metalheads. I don’t think Metallica fans could care less about this kinda stuff tho
I understand what you're saying, but now I want to see you do a video on that funeral piece by Chopin, whatever it's called I forget its official title. On second thought, no, don't do that one, that one triggers my anxiety in a nasty way every time I hear it. :)
As for scariest classical "song" there are many but listen to the music used for The Shining - for some of the Ligeti and outside of that Penderecki's Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima. For more traditional classical pieces there is the famous Beethoven Sonata in F minor with the outer movements anticipating by about 175 years heavy metal music in the first and third movement - ua-cam.com/video/txChVYmy4BI/v-deo.html Oh then there's Bartok's Music for Strings Percussion and Celeste which through very subtle and less dramatic means (although there are some great builds - try the Fugue movement) can present some of the most frightening and saddest music ever as well as shards of happiness and a whole panoply of emotional states. And for harmonic fun and a wide range of emotional states as well as a very bold harmonic scheme for its time (basically it starts in C major and by the second movement goes to C # minor then A flat major and then back to C major in the final movement) is Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy for solo piano. And I have just scratched the surface -- do explore more Shred.
I enjoy watching your videos with my nine year old who is learning to play the guitar. But… now he keeps asking me for WAP juice and how to finger the g string. I have no idea what to tell him….Neither did the store clerk in the juice aisle.
Huh? Really? Bach's output is gigantic and the work you highlight while quite good is not his best although excellent for a 19 year old organ virtuoso (by 15 he mastered most of the most difficult organ pieces, sort of a Liszt of the organ of his time). As for Bach's scariest piece? Hmm, possibly the Fantasy in G minor from the Great Fantasy and Fugue in G minor. It reflects two completely different moods and a complete mastery of harmony, counterpoint and word painting that would not be exceeded until the very late 19th century/early 20th century. And even then not often. Hope you enjoy the extremely chromatic harmonic language (for its time that is but still it goes very far harmonically from G minor) ua-cam.com/video/8y8mlNOftv0/v-deo.html

My piano teacher growing up told me that people who like metal music often like Bach's music. Your reviews have helped me understand why this is true.
Hell yeah ! What's your fave metal band ?
Bach is a compositional genius
That teacher was right.
I love metal and Bach masterpiece.
It's not really scary at all, but it's so emotional and moving it's out of this world. Pure genius
Oh, let Shred have his shtick
Haha, whatever it is, I can’t get enough. Don’t think Artificial Intelligence will ever be at this level
Sounds scary to me
I’m learning this on piano and guitar. Love it.
@@ezramarks6081 Imo its just the very first measures. After listening to it many times, its not scary anymore. But the fugue section is nothing but emotion, nothing scary.
There is no modern music without Johann Sebastian Bach
All hail
"Johann"
Bach invented Heavy Metal. This song is the foundation for so many Heavy Metal Riffs.
Virgil Fox (late great organ virtuoso) did a 1973 LP entitled Heavy Organ. Along with a very psychedelic LP cover.
11:55 That ending is nothing short of MONUMENTAL!! If only I could hear that in a very large church with a huge pipe organ...
Shred: "Take me to dimension 666 Bach"
Bach: "I gotchu bro"
I'll never listen to music the same after this blew me away
First heard this at the age of 5 , blew my mind and I've been fascinated with music ever since.

Toccata is a childrens birthday party to some of shostakovics works...

And for harmonic fun and a wide range of emotional states as well as a very bold harmonic scheme for its time (basically it starts in C major and by the second movement goes to C # minor then A flat major and then back to C major in the final movement) is Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy for solo piano.

SONG ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Look at his other prelude and fugues.
pre mud flood times there was no painted glass on the churches so the organ could heal organs of anyone who heard it
Was Bach the greatest? Well Mozart greatly admired the old master and in fact was friend and colleague with J.C Bach, the son and also a composer.
That note at 9:37 did NOT belong there.
Best channel on UA-cam…. Can we say Bach uses the circle of 5ths or is my music theory off ?

Huh? Really? Bach's output is gigantic and the work you highlight while quite good is not his best although excellent for a 19 year old organ virtuoso (by 15 he mastered most of the most difficult organ pieces, sort of a Liszt of the organ of his time).
As for Bach's scariest piece? Hmm, possibly the Fantasy in G minor from the Great Fantasy and Fugue in G minor. It reflects two completely different moods and a complete mastery of harmony, counterpoint and word painting that would not be exceeded until the very late 19th century/early 20th century. And even then not often.
Hope you enjoy the extremely chromatic harmonic language (for its time that is but still it goes very far harmonically from G minor)
