Secrets of Organ Playing Week 62 – Echo Fantasia in D Minor –JP Sweelinck adapted by W Karges

Thank you for making this edition. I really had to keep my wits about me with those manual changes. I, too, had to make several takes. My announcement tends to get more and more terse from exasperation of starting yet another take. I was interested to see the score had a pedal part, something which does not appear in the other echo fantasias.

Sweelinck did not write for pedals (though I know of at least one exception to this 'rule'). Karges, however adapted them for the use of pedals. At least that's what I think, given the distance between bass voice and tenor voice in some spots. Yet the manuscript does not generally indicate 'pedals' or 'manual' (though there are, again, several exceptions to this 'rule'). So, it's a editorial decision and you are free to play the bass voice manualiter.
