Bach’s Orgelbüchlein: an introduction for performers
Learning to play Bach on the organ, using the “Little Organ Book“ or Orgelbüchlein. In this series of 46 films, we look at each prelude in turn and discuss performance issues.
This half-hour introductory film looks at some of the general questions that we’ll take for granted in each episode.
The series is presented by Dr Tim Rishton (), along with a student. We use a variety of instruments, mostly in Norway.
The introductory video has been cut down from a longer talk that was recorded primarily for speech, so the recording of organ sound is not of good quality. Music sound recording will be better in the individual episodes!
This episode was recorded in Bjerkreim Church in Norway. Details of the organ can be found on .
The episodes have been a little delayed because the student is on leave, but for the time being we have decided to make a start with just one person speaking.
The following episodes are available:
