what stuns me, is the complexity and beauty of the piece... in popular culture, its known as a piece for scary movies, but it was written as a church piece. An offering to God.

Most people I know have never heard this masterpiece played to end, it’s their loss! Bach was a genius no doubt about that.

Horror movies: *exists*
This song: *allow me to introduce myself*

The original prog rock. This is my favourite piece of all time.

Fun fact: bach wrote this as a warm-up-piece to warm up before holy masses

Ich durfte dieses Stück mal in der Matini Kirche in Braunschweig erleben. Wir, mein Altgeselle und meine Wenigkeit hatten dort als Maler einen Wasserschaden an der Wand auszubessern. 😮 Also alles auf dass Gerüst was dort innen an der Wand stand und hoch auf 6 Meter Höhe. Da schon die Akustik im Kirchenschiff ❤❤ 😮 und dann diese voluminöse Musik❤❤❤❤😊 ich war so überwältigt dass vor (Glück?) geweint habe.😢 manchmal geht es mir heute noch so.

Cette piece me rappelle un de mes plus beaux souvenir de petite fille de huit ans environ, quand mon oncle m a demandé de m assoir pres de lui dans une magnifique basilique ou il donnait un concert, je sens les vibrations qui ont envahi tout mon corps et mon âme, maintenant je suis âgée et ce moment m emporte encore dans un magnifique espace de bien-être et de grâce ❤

As a horror movie fan, I've been looking for YEARS to find this full piece! At age 69, I have AT LAST found it! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! 🧛🏻‍♀🧛🏻‍♀

Bach composed this between 1703 and 1707, when he was 18-22 years old. Just think about it

Oh Monsieur Constantini .... une pure merveille d'interprétation ... les larmes ont coulé sur mes joues ... merci ❤

...там звучал орган старинный,
ре-минором ранил сердце...
перекресток звездных линий,
вечной музыки наследство...

в темно-синем полумраке
роза мира расцветала,
красотой чудесных звуков
в небесах благоухала...

бесконечностью созвездий
мир вселенной проявлялся...
вместе с музыкой небесной
СВЕТ божественный остался...

Most of the versions of this on YouTube don't go deep enough into the bass -- this is the best one I've found.

[rain-my]

for me it is the most wonderful piece of Bach💘

[FarmersAreDummies]

It's not October until you've heard this masterpiece.

[Maus]

Toccata und Fuge in d Moll, ist sein größtes Meisterwerk das er geschrieben hat, es beschreibt das leben wie es ist es geht hoch und runter glück und trauer auf und ab und am ende steht Gott, der uns behütet, Liebe Grüße aus Leipzig Deutschland, hir liegt er begraben. ❤❤❤❤

What planet did this guy come from and I wonder where he hid his spaceship? Otherworldly if ever there has been such a thing! Goosebumps everytime I crank this up with headphones! Wow

When the north sea is ruff, storms are roaring, with a full moon, and if I am alone in my villa, the old house creeking in the wind, ,this is my favorite piece, full blast watching nature's Force!

[shadowthehedgehog]

I would only learn how to play the organ so I could play this on a really old one with exaggerated expressions with my hands when people come to my house and if they walk into the room I'm playing it in I would just say "Ahh I've been expecting you"

[TheCreepyCoroner]

the change at 8:55 to 9:08 has always made me feel so hopeful and emotional. specifically at 9:04
