Default music, the real classics.

I've loved the classics since I was young. My grandmother did her best to have me schooled on them.
I loved true acoustic marvels and was into hifi.
I was blessed with a golden ear but lead fingers and a basically lazy attitude when it came to practicing.

I've seen similar musical presentations on you tube but never for Bachs perhaps best known piece Toccata and fugue in D Minor AKA rollerball.
as I was watching I could hear the first organist he asked to play it going " Johann my man they ain't gonna find for another 200 years man."

it makes sense for the video but the low keys are actually played by the foot pedals. which means that the organist is rather busy.
I'm not sure I could do one hand never mind both hands using all fingers and both feet.

There was a pipe organ in a cathedral in St Paul. We would go there at Christmas to hear it play.
If you ever get an opportunity to hear Bach's Toccata in D minor on a huge pipe organ live do it. It is soul shaking.

My mother was a pianist and we always had a lot of music in our home. I can remember as a very small child begging my mom to play chopin for me while I sat underneath her piano bench. I love classical music and play it for hours most days.

I have a massage chair that synchronizes the massage with blue tooth. Classical piano, slow blues, Pink Floyd, new age . It's 30 minutes of musical massage. Ever had Claire de Lune played on you from head to toe in a zero gravity position? Close your eyes.
