My MIL was a professional organist in churches (e.g., Bethesda by the Sea) throughout the Palm Beach area. I watched her practice this piece on a three rank organ in her living room, and on a five rank organ at some massive church near Singer Island.

He does it almost as well on a big accordion.

That was good. I’m not an accordion fan but I always find it interesting what they can do.

I can't even imagine the practice it must take to generate the muscle memory of where all those keys are.

That's also my all-time favorite piece of music.




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

I might be wrong, but I don’t think the accordion is producing all of those deep bass notes.

Entertaining anyway.

Incredible . I think of the practice it took to learn to play that difficult piece.

I was wondering about that myself. According to AI, some accordions are capable of reproducing a D2 (the lowest note in Bach's T&F).

Any accordion players on board can verify?

I doubted that the accordion was producing the low bass notes for two reasons:

#1 Doubts that the accordion could produce them. Especially at that volume.

#2 Watching his fingering when they sounded. No correlation that I could see.

I had my doubts when I read the title. That guy did pretty good.

That empty factory provided good acoustics. Sad to see an unused gantry crane.

I was wondering if he played in portions as to get all of those camera angles and close ups.
