Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C Major, BWV 564 Click to Listen [14:8] (a=466 Hz)
A rambunctious early piece, with an ethereal middle movement (the Adagio in A minor is often used by itself with a soft ending) that modulates rather sternly into the key of C again for a playful fugue. A minimum of registration changes seems to suit this piece perfectly. Temperament: Werckmeister 3. Instrument: The Hinsz-Organ at Leens in the province of Groningen (1733/34) - Samples by Hauptwerk.nl
