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. 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 collegial in nature. Unsigned or inappropriate entries may be removed by the administrator.
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.
Editing conventions on DISCUSSION ("TALK") PAGES
Each article has a corresponding DISCUSSION ("talk") page, accessed by clicking the "Discussion" tab at the top of the article. To make these discussions useful for organists, it helps if everyone follows some simple editing conventions:
- HEADINGS Start a new discussion with a
==level 2 heading==at the bottom of the page (or use the “+” tab) - REPLIES Indent replies with colons (
:) at the beginning of the line. - SIGNATURE Always sign your name after your comments. Use the four tildes “
~~~~” wiki syntax (or the signature button in the toolbar above the editing textbox).
For an example and more information about how to use the discussion ("talk") pages, visit this link.
