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. Helpful suggestions are welcome from anyone. These are collected and displayed either as "articles" or "discussions":

  • ARTICLES are more formal presentations listed under specific performance categorires (registration, tempo and meter, articulation and phrasing, etc.)
  • DISCUSSIONS ("talk" pages) are more conversationial statements about anything related to the piece or collection being discussed.

Musical performance places value on the intent of both the composer and the performer, as well as many other factors. Citations and links to primary sources, online resources, personal opinions and tastes, and uploaded documents are all welcome, as long as they pertain to the topic. Any information that might be helpful to an organist in the performance of the piece or collection is welcome.

Editing conventions on talk pages

Having discussions on a free-form wiki page will seem strange at first. It helps if everyone follows some simple editing conventions:

  • Always sign your name after your comments. Use the four tildes “~~~~” wiki syntax (or the signature button signature button in the toolbar above the editing textbox). For more information see Help:Signatures.
  • Start a new discussion with a ==level 2 heading== at the bottom of the page (or use the “+” tab)
  • Indent replies with colons (:) at the beginning of the line.

For an example and more information about how to use the discussion ("talk") pages, visit this link.
