@reels.classics: 🎶⚡️Johann Sebastian Bach – Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 Xaver Varnus – organ 🎹 • No serious musicologist is absolutely certain that Bach wrote this piece. There is no manuscript in his own hand. The entire work survived in a single copy made by a student of one of his students, decades after Bach’s death. In 1981, the English musicologist Peter Williams listed the anomalies: parallel octaves, strange cadences, patterns rare in Bach’s style. The debate remains open to this day. • The instrument in this recording has a story almost as improbable as the piece itself. It was built in 1905 by Wilhelm Sauer, the organ builder known as the German Cavaillé-Coll. In 1917, the government confiscated 214 facade pipes to be melted down for munitions. In 1944, bombings destroyed part of the cathedral. The sound you are hearing only returned to existence in 1993, when the organ was rebuilt pipe by pipe from the original plans. • The organist is Xaver Varnus, Hungarian, born in 1964, trained in Paris under Pierre Cochereau, organist at Notre Dame. The New York Times called him the Horowitz of the organ. But the rarest detail of this recording is the edition he chose to play: the version prepared by Mendelssohn. The same man who rescued the piece from oblivion in 1833 also shaped how it sounds today. You are hearing it, two centuries later, exactly as Mendelssohn imagined it. • 👉 Follow for the best of classical music daily on your feed. • • • #bach #classicalmusic #orchestra
