Joseph Haydn - Pieces for a Musical Clock 1792 no 12

This is one of the most delightful pieces of the series, which makes the fingers dance over the keyboard.

Dit is één van de meest verrukkelijke stukjes van de reeks, dat de vingers laat dansen over de toetsen.

About

As a classical organist I have been a prominent Messiaen and Reger interpreter since the '90s. Nowadays Bach interpretation is my main classical project. This is represented by my research "Dancing Bach on the organ". At the same time, as an improviser and a performing composer, I have been creating a new musical language which brings together musicians with avant-jazz, avant-pop, Western classical and traditional African and Asian backgrounds. I now relate this to my Bach interpretation.
