JS Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor

This is the one for the visual learners. It will help direct you to a purposeful listening experience where you may be more likely to notice the organ's different timbers, layering of sounds, short and long sounds, thin and thick textures (many melodies together or just one melody line). The experience may also help you to appreciate Bach's amazing genius in creating music that is so complex and mathematical and yet an eternal work of art.

I hope you enjoy it. As Anne listened I heard her say "wow" a couple of times and even chuckle!

Peace,
Yvette
