Pièce d'orgue, BWV 572 - Johann Sebastian Bach | Secrets of Organ Playing Contest Week 55

This is my entry for the Secrets of Organ Playing Contest Week 55.

I'm playing Pièce d'orgue (Fantasia in G), BWV 572 by Johann Sebastian Bach.

This is a well known piece in the organ repertory for many reasons. It's divided into three distinct sections:

I. A single melody line that is lively and cheerful.
II. A five voice 'Grand Plein Jeu', Grave movement.
III. An extended, hypnotic, coda.

This was recorded on the 1721 Silbermann instrument in St. Georgenkirche Rötha, Germany, using the Hauptwerk VPO software.

No more daily SBI? I fear it might be due to changes within SBI as a system? I've been gone far too long -- so much catching up to do! >.<

I would play more if I would not have to work full-time and would not have some serious health issues. I wish to be as free and healthy as Vidas is. But I hope to be able to play Pièce d'orgue for our recital in April.

Ok. We all wish to be as free and healthy as Vidas! My Actifit counts are atrocious. I don't post much at all 😢

You have a two manual instrument here. With Hauptwerk, can you download a 3 or 4 manual sampleset?
