This is the fourth movement of this so-called 'symphony.' This whole work is a fairly harmless, but charming bit of Baroque fluff, two slow movements, two fast movement, nice harmonies, 4th species counterpoint and all that. The arrangement is by the organist Hans-André Stamm from Leverkusen. This was recorded this week in St. Severin Church in Severin Strasse in Cologne, where I am playing a concert there with the organist, Gert Schmid on this coming Saturday, April 26th, 2008 at 11 a.m. I captured this on my mini-disk player to see what was going on with the acoustics, my playing and so on.
As I mentioned I was really worried during our rehearsals that the organ was drowning me out and I think I am mostly giving more than I need to to make this piece work. I will be trying to give a little more sweetness and a little less power when we do this again. I still have to watch intonation with the organ (and also the long acoustic effect - echoes come back flat - yes, this is a hassle). Gerd will be choosing some new voicings for the organ that are a little meatier, too.
More to come!
Edit (listened again): As I said, we found me surprisingly dominant in the church. We had though the organ would drown out the horn. I can clearly play at a comfortable volume without any fear of not coming through. The passages with louder dynamics and more aggressive articulation seem to feel more out of tune/kilter than others - I wonder if this is also because of the stronger conflict with the resulting stronger (flat) echoes.
