Johann Sebastian Bach, Nun komm der Heiden Heiland, BWV 660b
This is my entry for the Secrest of Organ Playing Contest, Week 47.
The chorale prelude on “Nun komm der heiden Heiland”, BWV 660, is a well known part of the 18 Leipziger Choräle. BWV 660b is a variant of this well known prelude, found in at least two manuscripts by the hand of Johann Gottfried Walther. It has the cantus firmus unadorned in the pedal, the pedal part of BWV 660 has become the left hand part, and the left hand part of BWV 660 has become (transferred an octave up) the right hand part. It is unknown wether BWV 660b is an earlier version of BWV 660, or an adaption of the latter, made by Walther, or perhaps Johann Tobias Krebs.
The version of BWV 660 is musically more satisfying. The version of BWV 660b is however slightly more easy to play..

I had a little laugh at “Speeky’s secret life” 😂
Another Advent piece. Thanks!
Me too! I had a bit of trouble to gather my concentration again and begin the piece...
It adds character to the video 😜

It certainly does. I should practice the original as well. Tricky pedal part, but after Scheidemantel's prelude Vom Himmel hoch, I should be able to play this one as well.
Your playing reminds me why I chose to become an organist. Your performance manner and selection of music always exhibit your finest musical taste and intelligence.
Thanks you for your very kind words!!
