L. J. A. Lefebure-Wely - Sortie Es-dur

This is the Verset in Es-dur written by the french composer Louis James Alfred Lefébure-Wély from Vade-mecum de l’organiste, Op.187 . I played this piece with the pipe organ of Žiobiškis church.

Hi. I've always loved organ playing from a young age. We had one in our church, although I don't think it was as magnificant as the one you're playing on. But it gave me an appreciation of the music that comes from it.

I don't remember seeing when musicians push whatever it is on the top. Is that the pipe part of the organ? If so, what is their function?

Thanks for taking the time to address this. I know nothing about how that type of music is played. Only listened to it.

You play beautifully.

Thank you for question. I am glad that you like pipe organ music.
That handles which I pushed in playing time is switches of organ stops.
Organ stop is color of sound. Like painter have variuos color of paint (also he can mix that colors and make new color) organist have sound colors - organ stops. Inside organ is many pipes. For example this organ in recording has 566 pipes. For manual this organ have 8 stops and 2 stops for pedal. In manual keyboard is 54 keys. So for one stop is 54 individual pipes for each key. In the other stop there will be another pipes but that pipes is not same as in first stop. There can be metal pipes, wood pipes, can be variuos diameters for same lenght pipes and etc.
Some of organ stops demonstration examples you can hear there:
