Welcome to the Organ Playing Wiki
An open forum about classical organ performance
|
This site is a forum for performance suggestions on specific organ pieces or collections. Entries from anyone that might be helpful to an organist in the performance of the piece or collection is welcome. These 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 of a collegial nature. Unsigned or inappropriate entries may be removed by the administrator.

~~~~” wiki syntax (or the signature button signature button in the toolbar above the editing textbox). For more information see Help:Signatures.

:) at the beginning of the line. - SIGNATURE Always sign your name after your comments. Use the four tildes “
