Prelude and Fugue in B-flat major, BWV 560 - Krebs
This is my entry for Week 14 of the Secrets of Organ Playing Competition!
My name is James Flores and I'm playing Prelude and Fugue in B-flat major, BWV 560, from the "8 Short Preludes and Fugues" formerly attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach but probably composed by one of his pupils, Johann Tobias Krebs or his son Johann Ludwig Krebs.
Wooaw, such an amazing video you have in there. I have really loved to play the organ one day and now I think I have a way to start learning from great users like you.
You styles with the organ is so amazing and I enjoyed every second I spent on your video. Great work and keep the playing spirit up so users like me can watch them and also start practicing them.

Hello @contrabourdon, you've just made my day! I love organ music and take advantage of every opportunity I can get to enjoy it but I've never seen anyone playing the organ. Organs are usually in churches up at the gallery or in concert halls but either way, you can't really get close the the organ. Thanks to your video, I've been able to see the organ from close and although I knew it's a very complex music instrument, now I know how it looks like.
I've never know you can use the pedals to make sounds. I always thought those are just to help the musician when using the keyboard (I don't even know it keyboard is appropriate to use here).
Anyway, the music is absolutely lovely. It takes me back to another century, when organ music was very popular.
Congratulations and please continue uploading videos with great organ music! Have a nice weekend!
Hi @contrabourdon, great video. I am stunned by your skill of playing the organ. It is really rare to now someone playing that kind of instrument :P
How did you get there?
Hope to see more from you.
Cheers,
Max

I don't know why but I have the impression that you like this fugue even more than the prelude. Am I right?

Haha. Yes! Perhaps because there’s a little more variety in the Fugue.
