Even though I'm a big fan of beer, I only rarely participate in @detlev's #beersaturday contest. And that's because I am a bit set in my beerways. The best beers in the world primarily are of Belgian origin.

The prelude to the choral "Herr, ich habe misgehandelt" is another beautiful organ composition by Christian Gotthil Tag. I keep wondering why the music of this composer is not played more often

Zachow's prelude to the choral "Herr Jesu Christ, waht Mensch und Gott" is an unpretentious 3 part composition. The choral melody is played in the soprano voice, accompanied by the other two

Zachow's prelude to "Jesu, der du meine Seele" is setup as a short double fugue on the first phrase of the choral melody and a free counter subject. The counterpoint shows Zachow's craftmanship,

Kirchhoff's prelude to the choral "Wenn wir in höchsten Nöthen sein" is a peculiar piece. The choral meody is played unisono on the manuals and the pedal. Between each phrase of the melody Kitchhoff

This is my entry for the Secrets of Organ Playing Contest, week 117. I play a Trio by Georg Friedrich Händel Although Georg Friedrich Händel was said to be one of the finest keyboard players of his time,

The theme of this week's Open Mic is of course ideally suited for organ music. The organ is mostly associated with church music and the main feasts of christianity are of course the birth of Jesus (Christmas)

This is my entry for the Secrets of Organ Playing Contest, week 116. I play Johann Seb astian Kehl's prelude to "So gehst du dann, mein Jesu hin". Johann Balthasar Kehl (1725 – 1778) was a German

Even though I think of myself as an organist and not as a pianist, as a youngster I started with 6 years of piano lessons. And all the exercises and scales I played then layed the foundation of my technique

Somewhere before my ice-skating accident I had already finished the recordings of remainder of the pieces from manuscript Mus. ms. 40037, and of three more pieces by Christian Gotthilf Tag. Now that I

This is my entry for the Secrets of Organ Playing Contest, Week 115. I play Brunckhorst's Sonata in A major. Arnold Matthias Brunckhorst (~1670/1675 – 1725) was a German organist and composer. Only two

This Gigue from Scheibe's sixth keyboard partita is another fast paced piece with lots of notes for the left hand. Ideal for retraining purposes after a broken wrist. There are even more notes for the

I have a small power down running, which leaves me weekly with roughly the same amount in liquid Hive as I weekly gather in Hive Power as curation rewards. That way I can reinvest the curation rewards

Almost four week ago I broke my left wrist, and because of the cast was not able to play with my left hand. Four days ago, the cast came of again, so I could start playing again with two hands. After three

Today the cast was removed from my wrist. And the X-ray showed that it has healed sufficiently, so no new cast was needed. Luckily. After three weeks the wrist is quite stiff and hurts more than I had

Tomorrow I'm going to the hospital and they will (probably) remove the cast around my wrist. And then I can start playing with my left hand again. The hand has been immobile for over three weeks, so it'll

This is my entry for the Secrets of Organ Playing Contst, Week 114. I play Stölzel's Trio in a minor. In response to the publication for my Trio (for two..., see post here, Dr. Gaboian from Russia suggested
