"TOCCATA AND FUGUE IN D MINOR (YOUNGISH GUY)

BOY, HE'S PULLING ALL THE STOPS OUT!
It's pretty good, but still he hurries it a bit."

I liked his performance quite a bit. I haven't been to that particular church but have been to others, such as the Oude Kerk and the hidden Catholic one, the Begijnhof in A'dam to listen to organists practicing.

I think his tempo is fine but I'm no expert.

"Nobody gets the whole thing right! This guy gets most of it right -- he doesn't hurry it:

It's powerful, I like him, too.

"Are you fond of Filipino organs?"

You're the first to tell me about them!

"I am.

They have bamboo organs, did you know that?"

No.

"Do you like the sound Philippine organs make? A very unusual sound!

Very inventive, those Pinoys..."

It's very reedy. I wonder how acoustically stable bamboo is? I would imagine that they would fracture overtime when subjected to sustained vibration. Interesting, thanks!

"I'm leaving out a lot of puns, etc. from this post. My last long post to you got a very cursory reply. So I won't waste my time here."

I'm sorry!

Cute! Will get better, I'm sure!

Reminds me of my recital, only I had practiced less.

As with the previous, could use some work.

"That same kid, when about 10 years old

That's the same kid? He's better, here.

"OK - now the good stuff!"

Okay, and it's just a suggestion, but maybe LEAD with that, next time?

"Here's a real looker...

He's very sweet. delicate hands.

Also very nice but, whatever the term would be for "too relentlessly mechanical in the temporal domain." Nice kid!

"His channel:

Yeah, I already subscribed to him, I'll check it out.

"Here's a Very Cute Japanese boy! So polite!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEJFuuDDgiM

"Yes, indeed! I even understood his Japanese, amazingly!

"Shakuhachi shite agete ii desu ka?"
(Google misses the point when it translates that.)"
That threw me, too since the shakuhachi is a bamboo flute. Maybe pipe organs, have some conceptual similarity, have a similar name?

"Try this:

It may be that you have fully plumbed the depths of what YouTube can offer on the subject!

Thank you!
