I Left My Heart In San Francisco (Pianoteq)

null@example.com (budo) — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 01:38:14 +0000

things have been a bit crazy in real life so i didn't get a chance to share some tracks. here's one of the classic standards that was mostly made famous by Tony Bennett, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco." i tried to keep it pretty simple but there are a few spicy choices for substitutions here and there.

Festivo, Like ”100” trumpets, Celebratory atmosphere (Organteq)

null@example.com (Pianoteqenthusiast) — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 16:54:46 +0000

In three (3) examples, Organteq describes a cheerful and celebratory atmosphere often associated with special occasions.
Organteq can also take us to unknown musical lands…..
I love the sound of Organteq and how one can use and change and combine the presets.

A) Festivo Intro Orgt,

B) Like ”100 trumpets” Otgrq 2 and a bit trombone (layer) from GB

C) Celebratory atmosphere Orgtq 1 and Orgtq 2 (layer)

And in addition to all this, it can be said that. ”Everything in Organteq can be tweaked - from the composition of the organ to the sound of each pipe…….(Modartt).

NOTICE:
I'm always learning new things with Organteq. Most recently I found the separation slider. The sound in preset Clockwork organ give sound from C whole tone scale on the left, C# whole tone scale on the right. ”C/C# separation” gradually sends the C and C# sides of each division to the right and left channels, respectively.

That's what's been bothering me. Now I drag the slider down to the left so all the sound is more centered in the middle. That's how I want it when I'm trying to get a good trumpet sound.

Ah, thank you Roman. I have experienced a sudden discovery, and I’m appreciative of it.

All the best, everyone

PT9 - Ruckers II Harpsichord - Couperin: Le Réveil-Matin - binaural

null@example.com (J. Unruh) — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 16:38:33 +0000

Binaural mix: For optimal sound, please use headphones.

François Couperin (1668-1733) was one of the outstanding composers of his time. He lived and worked for many years in Paris and Versailles (France), where he served at the court of Louis XIV as court organist, harpsichordist and music teacher to the royal family. Couperin composed sacred vocal works, chamber music, organ works and, primarily, harpsichord works.
For the harpsichord, he composed not only suites in the established Baroque style, but also pioneering character pieces demonstrating a unique understanding of the instrument’s sound and featuring many innovations previously unknown. One of these newer compositions is Le Réveil-Matin (‘The Alarm Clock’) from the fourth Ordre of his first book of *Pièces de clavecin*. Listeners may associate this composition with waking up in the morning and the chime of a music-box alarm clock. Couperin achieves this through the repeated alternation between two distinct musical moods: the quiet passages convey the tranquillity of bed and cosy relaxation, whilst in the more animated passages the listener experiences the chiming of the music-box alarm clock and the unpleasant awakening from sweet dreams.

Trickery/Joke Hocus Pocus brings out 2 birds at the end!!! (Organteq 2

Trickery/Joke - Hokus Pokus (Organteq 2)

Such rapid finger shifts, lightning-fast position changes on the organ…
Don’t know if I am a musician that navigates complex technical obstacles so smoothly that the physical effort becomes completely invisible to the audience …..

No,
I'm just kidding. Had a little fun tonight as a change from Bach.
Kind of Hokus-Pokus that brings out two (2) birds at the end!!

They came out of over 4,000 physically modeled pipes, 68 distinct organ stops.(Organteq 2)

New Bach Video Sinfonia No. 12 in A Major BWV 798 Pianoteq

null@example.com (carmelo.paolucci) — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 21:28:24 +0000

Dear Friends,

In this video I perform Sinfonia No. 12 3- part in A Major BWV 798 from by Johann Sebastian Bach. That's a A vigorous rhythmic piece in 4/4. The three voices take the main (and only) theme in order (top, middle, low) in the tonic, dominant, tonic accordingly. A transition passage, built out of the ending of the main theme (last half of (2), leads to the dominant (E, 9). An extensive development begins there, taking the opening motif of the theme through various modulations aiming at the relative minor (f#, 14), preceded by a long organ point on its dominant (c#, 12).
The main theme then returns in the tonic (23) in the lower voice, to which the upper voice joins at (24) and the middle one concludes by repeating the main motif of the beginning (27-29).
Enjoy your listening Bach from Italy

CLAVICEMBALO :: Frescobaldi: „Toccata avanti il Ricercare”

null@example.com (rumburak) — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 18:19:07 +0000

In this recording, I combined a Grimaldi harpsichord (PIANOTEQ) with an organ. In the middle section, both instruments play simultaneously. This combination was found in bygone centuries (and in modern copies of period instruments) under the name CLAVICEMBALO, where one keyboard operated a stringed harpsichord and the other a piped four-foot positive organ. The sounds from both keyboards could be combined.

OT2 - Holzhey-Organ Neresheim 1798 Max Reger: Ach bleib

null@example.com (J. Unruh) — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 17:32:57 +0000

Max Reger (1873-1916) was a prominent German composer, organist and conductor. He lived and worked for many years in Weiden and Munich, and as university music director and professor in Leipzig (Germany). He composed many famous organ works in the style of the late Romantic period and early modernism. Sadly, he died very young at the age of 43.
The chorale prelude ‘Ach bleib mit deiner Gnade’ (Opus 135a, No. 1) is a very personal and artfully crafted organ piece. Max Reger treats the melody by Melchior Vulpius (1570–1615) in a restrained style. The composition features the polyphonic voice leading typical of Reger. The imploring and consoling character of the sacred song is emphasised by the modulations and distinctive harmonies. The work is also used as a prelude to Hymn No. 144 in the hymn book of the New Apostolic Church.

PT9 Guitar Duo+Violin: Glorious, glorious is the work of God -binaural

null@example.com (J. Unruh) — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:06:14 +0000

Binaural mix: For optimal sound, please use headphones.

Emanuel Gohle (1867-1937) was a German composer who helped shape the musical culture of the New Apostolic Church (NAC). He studied music and worked as a teacher at the Berlin Conservatoire.
The melody of the hymn “Herrlich, herrlich bauet Gott sein Werk” or “Glorious, glorious is the work of God” is composed in the tradition of revivalist hymns and was included in the New Apostolic Hymnal (New Apostolic Church Hymnal No. 344, New Apostolic Hymnal No. 280). The lyrics describe the workings and the building up of God’s work on earth. Musically, the piece is characterised by a catchy style typical of early 20th-century church music in this context. It is a hymn that was frequently used in church services.
The arrangement for violin and guitar duo is by J. Unruh (2026).

New Bach video Sinfonia n 11 in G minor, BWV 797

null@example.com (carmelo.paolucci) — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 08:45:57 +0000

Dear Friends,

Bach Sinfonia No.11 in G minor – Again, in sharp contrast to the preceding and the following sinfonias, this is a charming, gentle pastoral siciliano in 3/8. Its main theme of 8 bars consists of a stepwise descending octave with a typical dotted rhythm in the steps that runs throughout the piece.
These elemrnts are emphasized in a wide transition passage that leads from the relative major (Bƅ), through A to D minor (16-31) exactly at the middle of the work. A sort of development leads back to the main theme in the tonic (65) with which the work ends. A tense passage (41- 48) exploits the subtle rhythmic syncopation of the transition passage (22-29). One should also note the two “organ points” on A (24-28) and on D (57-63) resolving on the tonic G at the end.
Enjoy your listening Bach from Italy

Blues For Wood (Pianoteq)

since i was out of town i didn't get to share a track from last week, Woody Shaw's "Blues for Wood." this is pretty much an F blues, although there are some nice substitutions that Woody used to to give it his imprimatur. i'm a big fan of his playing and music.

i got to spend some quality time at a beach this week so things are much more copacetic in my world. here's one of the most beautiful tunes in the book, Tony William's "Pee Wee" from Miles's Sorcerer album. interestingly Miles sat out on this tune, it's just Wayne, Herbie, Ron, and Tony. i've always loved the harmony in this tune. it really drifts all over the place.

G.F. Haendel: „Allemande” from Sonata Nº 3 d-moll

null@example.com (rumburak) — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 12:38:16 +0000

Many associate George Frideric Händel with organ music, but this is not true. Although it is certain that Händel also played the organ, he composed almost nothing for solo organ. His famous organ concertos are compositions for organ and orchestra, not solo organ.

Almost everything played on the organ as Händel's compositions is a transcription from other instruments.

The Allemande I recorded today is not a transcription but an original composition for keyboard (harpsichord).
