Welcome to the Organ Playing Wiki
An open forum about classical organ performance
|
This wiki is a forum for performance suggestions on specific organ pieces or collections. Anyone may freely explore the wiki without an account or log-in. Entries from anyone that might be helpful to an organist in the performance of the piece or collection are welcome (must create a free account and log in--see top of this page). These entries are collected and displayed either as "articles" or "discussions":
- Articles are more formal entries listed under specific performance categories (such as registration, tempo and meter, or articulation and phrasing). Click the "edit" tab to make an entry in the article.
- Discussions ("talk" pages) are more conversational entries about anything related to the piece or collection being discussed. Click the "discussion" tab to enter into the discussion.
Musical performance places value on the intent of both the composer and the performer, as well as many other factors. Citations of and links to primary and secondary sources, links to online resources, statements of personal opinion and taste, and uploaded documents are all welcome as long as they pertain to the topic and are collegial in nature. We invite all to remove inappropriate entries.
The first construction site and "model" for this new resource is Johann Sebastian Bach (his Orgelbüchlein in particular). However, entries are welcome throughout the wiki. Please reflect the format of the Bach site as applicable.
To make these articles and discussions useful for organists, it helps if everyone follows some simple editing conventions on ARTICLES and DISCUSSION PAGES:
ARTICLES | DISCUSSION ("TALK") PAGES |
---|---|
Each page in the wiki is an ARTICLE:
|
Each article has a corresponding DISCUSSION ("talk") page, accessed by clicking the "Discussion" tab at the top of the article.
