J.S. Bach - Sonata BWV 527, third movement, right hand only

The upcoming posts will, like the previous one, deal with each voice of BWV 527c separately. I intend to use these videos for my research, to demonstrate exercises for the co-ordination which are also relevant for my ways of improvising on rhythmic melodic patterns, in a contemporary style.

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.
