I would love to hear this after Holy Mass.

Wait a candy pickin moment! You wrote the tenor part in the alto clef!!! Not the tenor clef!!! What has this world come to?!?!? ;)
-
This reminds me of Rameau. Thanks, you should compose more music in the Baroque style.
-
Beautiful. I hope to reach your skill one day. May God grant it.

thanks wow reading that clef will probably be the hardest part about playing this piece lol

I need to learn BWV 721 to play for a funeral ASAP (unexpected death in the family). The piece is simple, so I'll just need to play it a few times slowly to learn it, but I don't know how to read the notes in the second clef (viola clef I presume). Can anyone help me??? Please if you can....I really need to know how to play the notes in that clef. http://imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/c/ce/IMSLP05509-Bach_-_BGA_-_BWV_714-740.pdf (It starts on page 20) thank you thank you!!!!

Pedaling speed is easily increased with practise. A lot of Baroque repertoire requires faster pedaling than what is called for in this (beautiful) Chaconne. The only difficulty would be deciding which feet to play with, which to cross over or under, etc. The biggest issue would probably be playing legato. I just listened to the mp3 and I think that there is a lot of potential to use the pedal in this piece. However, where it currently is, it does little to affect the piece, so I recommend that either the composer move the major pedal part towards the end of the piece or extend the piece to include more opportunities for the pedal. You should try to make the pedal entrance dramatic. This would sound very nice on a real organ with a 32' in the pedal. :)

To be honest, I haven't listened to the mp3, but looking at the score, the pedal part in question (starting at measure 60) is actually rather elementary. Any organist should have relative ease working out the passage, and it would be rather fun to play it. have you thought about a Baroque style harpsichord suite, but for organ? Maybe in this order Prelude Chaconne Toccata Fugue Postlude just recommendations, nothing binding Godspeed on your composition
