Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750); Prelude and Fugue in G Major, BWV 541
Präludium und Fuge in G-Dur
Recorded on the amazing Goll-organ in Weilheim an der Teck.
What you just heard, was S. Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in G Major, which - as Timothy Judd describes it - “springs to life with a leaping upward triad. This simple motivic cell unleashes a playful, dancing musical line which opens the door to torrents of sparkling and boldly-spirited virtuosity, combining the festive technique of “Stilus Fantasticus” with elements of Italian orchestral music. Filled with an infectious sense of joy and exuberance” , it is not surprising that “it was written when Bach was in his 20s. Thrilling contrapuntal and harmonic adventures follow, punctuated by a brash Neapolitan cadence which launches the Fugue into its euphoric final bars. In its original form, the Prelude and Fugue was probably written around 1712 when Bach was in his 20s in Weimar. Years later in 1733, Bach provided it to his son, Wilhelm Friedemann, as an audition piece for the music director post of Sophienkirche in Dresden“ - and of course, it was successful.
Also pay attention to the driving eight notes in the Prelude which will reappear in the fugue subject.

Love the tempo! So many rush through it and it gets muddy very quickly. Thank you!
When i was a child i just wanted to be up close to any organ music playing and your style just gives me a sense of wonder with majesty , Thanks.❤
Net wat tijd genomen om naar je Bach te luisteren. Mooi! Goed tempo (niet te snel), mooie articulaties. En fijn om te zien dat je op de juiste momenten (ook enkele van mijn favoriete momenten) even glimlacht! :-) Hartelijke groet!
Klasse!!! Angemessenes Tempo, das die Angabe "Vivace" nicht mit einem Rennen auf dem Hockenheimring verwechselt. Sehr lebendige Artikulation, die eine hohe Durchsichtigkeit des Satzes garantiert. Besonders gelungen ihre Akzenturierung in den Binnenkadenzen, die diese "wichtig" werden lassen. Klasse die Vorbereitung des "Verminderten" am Schluss der Fuge!

Sehr treffend formuliert, danke für diese Worte!
Just plain beautiful Mirjam.
Buitengewoon goed gespeeld! Perfecte registratie op een voor deze muziek uitermate geschikt orgel.
Dear Mirjam Haag, many thanks for the information "an der Teck" and its' history ( I'm still back in the 19th century - use an atlas!!!!). Again many thanks also for your recitals that I get on "KZread". I enjoy watching organists such as yourself (and thus mainly women,) who not only play the music, but also immerse themselves in the music at the same time. I am of the opinion that many male organists only play what is in front of them. Again, thank you for your reply and your music -- please don't stop.!!! If ever you come "down under"( yes, I live in Australia), see if you can have a concert on the Sydney Town Hall organ, and /or the Sydney Opera House organ( the Town Hall organ is better for the audience - can see you playing!! Graham.
Wonderful, flawless.one of the most difficult of JSB’s works to play. The articulation was brilliant!
Bravo liebe Mirjam, fantastisch interpretiert und sauber gespielt. Besser geht es nicht. Das ist eines meiner Lieblingsstücke von Bach von einer meiner favorisierten Organistinnen gespielt. Wunderbar!!! Herzlichen Dank dafür !!! 😊😊😊😊
Wonderful articulation and very tasteful ornamentations.
Brilliant start to finish! Made my day.
Schöne Interpretation an einer interessanten Orgel. Danke 😀
I watched this 2X. :D
0:07 Prelude 3:29 Fugue
Loved it! Excellent!
Quel bel jeux! Magnifique et merci
Mooie uitvoering ❤❤❤
❤️👏👍 Un brano che mette serenità, specie se eseguito così bene!!!
Wunderbar.
Wunderbar ! Mirjam Haag ist ein so schön Organistin !
Fantastisch gespielt 😍! Sehr schön das Spiel deiner Hände und deiner flinken und gelenkigen Fingern. Fantastisches Spiel auf den Pedalen. Ich liebe es wie flink, schnell und doch kraftvoll Du die Pedale spielst. Auch sehr schön wie Du mit dem Oberkörper nach vorne gehst und mehr Kraft einbringst 🥰🌹. Liebe Grüße 🤗
0:30 Überraschend ist die Verzierung am Ende des Aufwärtslaufs. Das kannte ich noch nicht.
Wonderful!!
terrific performance!
Félicitations !!!!! 🎉🤩🥳
Great performance! The ornaments are a nice touch. You forgot to mention that the fugue subject was originally used in the opening chorus of the cantata BWV 21 "Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis". And how about the impressive "stretti" (four overlapping entries of the subject, one in each voice ) in the 7 bars of the coda, following the Neapolitan chord!

Indeed, there is so much more to tell about this piece.... A neverending source of genius discoveries.... Thanks for adding these important details.
WOW!!!! M(?iss/rs?) Mirjam Haag, I can see that Herr J.S.Bach was with you whilst you were playing, through your body and facial interactions !! WOW again, so well played and (to me,)the "orchestration" organised(!!)by you, showed your excellent playing of such a wonderful piece of music --- just beautiful++++++. Could you please tell me where 'Weillheim an der Teck is -- can't decide if it's Germany or Holland?? Again, thank you so much for a wonderful presentation of beautiful, well known piece of music. Graham.

I always use Google maps to find out where places are. The "an der Teck" part is a hint, since the Teck is a river in Württemberg in Germany. The town is about 15 miles southeast of Stuttgart. King George V of the United Kingdom was married to Mary of Teck, who descended from the Dukes of Teck in the area.
Johann Sebastian Bach was obviously also a genial mathematic, his muzik is componed as according the correct mathematics matrix.
