Lovely piece and lovely registration.

My heartfelt condolences about your mother.

Thank you,tmyoung! We can’t erase emotional memory. But the intensity of feelings about the loss will lessen as time passes and my way to soothe/distract myself is to play Pianoteq/Organteq and be in this wonderful forum. You are all so nice people here. Thanks!

Bach Prelude in E minor BWV 555]]> https://forum.modartt.com/viewtopic.php?pid=964913#p964913 No.3 of the 8 Kleine Präludien und Fugen, (possibly) by Johann Ludwig Krebs, Bach’s pupil. Read somewhere that "It can be presumed today that Johann Sebastian Bach did not compose the "eight." Well, to me they sound much like Bach…..My registration ( which I think is a different beautiful Organteq sound) and tempo, is a result of how I feel the character of the music. And was thinking of my mother. My mother died and was buried 4 weeks ago. If I had known about this piece, I would have asked the organist to play it in church.

Keyboards and stops used

Recit:  Voix Celste 8’ 
Grand Orgue:  Principal 8’  Gambe 8’  Bourdon 8’  Doublette 2’
Positif:  Flute Traversiere 8’  Nasard 2’2/3
Pedale:  Principal 16’  Principal 8’
Couplers: Pos/G.O.   Rec/G.O.

My next and fifth (and probably the last one) in the series of eight 553 - 560 is probably BWV 553 (#1). When I heard this on Youtube I got goosebumps - there is nothing like Bach’s organ pieces. If I could see him play I could give him standig ovation 81 minutes. Why? Because the world record for the longest standing ovation ever is 80 minutes  :-)  It can take months for me to learn 553, but it’s my goal to make it. The library in my city promised to search/buy notes, so waiting for their answer first.
In the meantime I could make a duel with pedale and keyboard - a bit crazy piece of music…..:-)
