Johann Sebastian Bach, Triosonate nr 2, c moll: Largo | Secrets of Organ Playing Contest, Week 126

This is my entry for the Secrets of Organ Playing Contest. I play the second movement of Johann Sebastian Bach's Triosonate nr 2, in c minor (BWV 526).

After playing the first movement of this sonata last week, I got a bit over confident. Having played several movements of Bach's Triosonatas I thought I would play this one more or less avue. It does not seem very difficult at first sight and I thought, with all the practice I have by now, I would be able to play this one without too much practise.

Well, not so...

Never under-estimate a Trio by Johann Sebastian Bach. Playing them requires technique, finesse and a firm grasp of the musical material to bring out all the details really well. And that takes practice and time.

So this performance is a bit of a mess, sorry for that. Sadly I have no backup plan for this week's contest and no time to prepare something else. So, here it is anyway. And I'll post a better version when I've really practised this movement.

The recording was done with the Hauptwerk software and the sampleset, made by Sonus Paradisi, of the Klapmeyer organ in the St. Nikolai church in Altenbruch (https://www.sonusparadisi.cz/en/organs/germany/klapmeyer-organ-altenbruch.html).

Thanks for your entry! I love your articulation! I didn't notice any significant problems with your playing even though you said you needed spend more time with this movement. Does the Altenbruch sample set have any tremulants?

Perhaps I am a bit too critical on this performance, nevertheless I'm not satisfied with it. It was too much a struggle to get the right notes out in the right places. It's mainly playing the notes and not making music.
Altenbruch does have tremulants. In fact, since I recorded this performances I've started to play it with just flutes 8' in both hans and tremulant. It's a lovely sound and I'll probably use it in my next recording of this movement.
