Sped the slow tutorial by request. This is not a kiddie version (prompted by past rude comments that this is all wrong). Since then YT added a speed tool!

One of the most famous works in the organ repertoire, the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565, is a piece of organ music usually attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach. However, since the 1980s, several scholars have expressed doubt that it was composed by Bach. ThisTausig and Busoni's are perhaps the two most well-known piano transcriptions.
