preludefugue Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Hi, Can someone help me identify the piece played at the beginning of this video: At 23 seconds in I think it changes to another piece or it might be a continuation of the same. If a different piece, does anyone know what it is too (the one played in the latter half). Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Pykett Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 With apologies, I can't help. But doesn't it sound so, well, ELECTRONIC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd y Garreg Wen Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Sounds like quasi-baroque improvisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly makes me want to rush out and buy one. (Rather to run in the opposite direction.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier judgements seem to me unduly harsh - but I am only hearing the sample on an iPad which is possibly an inadequate medium for assessing.

Barry Oakley Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 What has changed? When the Mander company was family-owned, blatant advertising by toaster manufacturers was not allowed and the offending posting would have been taken down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nothing to do with the manufacturer. Perhaps posts with false accusations like yours should be taken down. I wanted help identifying the piece, that is clear from the title of the thread and my original post. I have made no mention of the brand or technology used. Having exhausted options like Shazam and asking the manufacturer themselves (no reply) I thought I would post here. It is not my fault the discussion turned into a critique about the sound quality of the organ. How are people supposed to help me identify the piece if I don't link to it? It is not uncommon for organ manufacturers to release demos with organists playing famous pieces although it seems the piece here might be an improvisation judging from some of the subsequent replies.

Colin Pykett Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Perhaps I should apologise for my part in inadvertently steering the discussion off-topic, without being able to answer the OP's original question. Instead I might mention that I too linked (equally innocently) to a performance on an electronic organ of a piece that I wished to identify only a few weeks ago. On that occasion I was fortunate to get a quick response, and can therefore hope that someone will be able to respond more usefully in due course.

ajsphead Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Had it been played on a harmonium where would we be then? Surely the point of the thread was the piece of music (as per the title) not the medium upon which it was conveyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
