Please identify this Bach piece for me
on: February 14, 2014, 12:19:43 PM
 I have been playing this piece which I think is by Bach (first few bars attached) but don't actually know what it is.  Can anyone help me please.  Many thanks Chris

I don't know what piece this is, but maybe this will help others. Good luck.

Wow - well done
However I must say I play it at about a quarter of that speed around largo and it sounds lovely.  Is that really as fast as it goes or is that just the speed it was put in. Sorry no idea how you did that but most impressed.  Chris

It's the third movement from the Pastorale (or Pastorella) for organ. BWV 590.

Well done that man - go to the top of the class!!!

It is also about the same speed I play it too

I can imagine it on one of those very old organs which chuffs along

Sounds pretty cool on the piano too

My grateful thanks

Chris
