Podcast Ep.3: Griepenkerl's edition of Bach organ works
🕑 Added 2023-06-29 14:50:37 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
Griepenkerl, you say? No worries, if you don't know who he is, you're not alone. But that's about to change rapidly during this podcast, as we delve into the ca. 1840 edition crafted by Conrad Griepenkerl (1802-1867), which features Bach's organ works. Amidst various intriguing storylines, we will focus on one particular element: Griepenkerl's tempo suggestion for Bach's Passacaglia. This description leads us to one of the most significant pillars of 19th-century tempo reconstruction, a pillar that, surprisingly, has never been mentioned in this context until now (but will be in the book!).
Enjoy!
