If you enjoyed this video, you might like Gounod’s Ave Maria, which is based on the same prelude. My video is here: ua-cam.com/video/Gnr7WzjYfdk/v-deo.html
I have occasionally played this prelude on a church organ before and as you might expect it works nicely in a reverberant acoustic space. His dedicated music for organ tends to be a little different though in the way it treats broken chords and so I suspect he had harpsichords and clavichords in mind with the way he notated this one.
Nice! With delay that long I'd advise to use shorter delay in filter env so more plucky sound! If you'd have another synth then you can play strictly to the music sheet. First 2 notes of each bar is held until the end of the bar, therefore these are the melody! Others are short. Congrats, and go for a poly, and play lot of bach! Cheers from Hungary!
I just found your channel, and this shit is good. I’d like to go out on a limb and say Bach would have at the very least been interested in your performances, given he was always seemingly on top of the newest musical styles and technologies of his day. Keep it up man.
Thank you very much! Yes, the question of what Bach would have thought of or done with a Moog synth and/or effects pedals is one of those perennial ones. I try to honour what I understand of his performance techniques and circumstances (eg. evoking organ music in a cathedral, adding ornaments). Thank you for your kind words.
I do that too, haha. I was asked for some sound effects for a local theatre production and it was a treat to hear the Sub37 through a big PA system in a big theatre. Thanks for watching and for your kind words!
Actually Bach is pretty good for learning. The whole WTC was intended as educational for students "advanced enough". So go ahead! Tge trick here to practice abd perform slow. Believe me 95% of the YT performances played laser speed on the piano wrong articulation, just ignore them!
This is so cool. I have been wondering about your various pedals and this detailed explanation answered a lot of questions! Im loving the volante with the 37, esp with mechanics and wear turned up to create a nice tape warble. Ive been looking into a dedicated reverb like maybe the Nightsky, but down the road, maybe. Working on this exact wtc prelude along with the prelude in c minor BWV 999 and having a blast. The Moog Muse just came out any temptation to try it out?
Cheers dude! Yes, the Volante is great fun. I also like its capacity for emulating a poorly-maintained tape machine, and find that an expression pedal is a great way of going back and forth between self-oscillating and just-about-but-not-quite. It’s not such a useful effect for Bach but it’s fun nevertheless! With this prelude if you want to play it all the way through in one go on a 37-note keyboard you’ll need to get a bit fancy with the octave keys and pitch controls for the oscillators, but don’t let that get in the way. And yes, I am quite interested in the Muse but realistically it’s not something I will be able to afford for a little while yet!
@@NoiseSupply I really need an expression pedal! In my practicing of the Telemann flute fantasy #2 i felt like something was missing because i was so accustomed to hearing that filter change around measure 15-17.As for the Prelude, I got a collection of Bach transcribed for solo flute (Well tempered flutist by robert stallman) and everything fits to accommodate the flutes range! Ill have to learn the proper version afterwards for my 61 key. And finally, I hear ya about the Muse, its pricey but man im so curious to see what you could do with if you ever got your hands on one. Some day! Cheers!

It’s like Bach designed this song to be played with delay!
The more I play with effects the more I find that delay is the most important one!
It's true, he was thinking of how to use a big concert hall's natural reverberation to his advantage (similarly)

For sure, is that a question? Bach itself the definition of playable in every instrument, and he was a great innovator.
One more advise: please try it slower, then even slower, like half of that tempo!

You are too talented! I just make noises with my Subsequent 37
