A Balcony Pipe Organ Installation
~ Reputed to be a painting of Johann Sebastian Bach ~
(Artist and details unavailable)
. . .
one of numerous online copies of the painting, very possibly a pedagogical
demonstration of correct hand positions and posture at the organ keyboard,
perhaps painted
during Bach's lifetime for the instruction of past, present and future
organ students. N.B.: The hands appear to be a proportional match for those depicted in the
classic Haussmann
portrait (Bach displaying a sheet of music held in his right hand,
possibly one of the canonic subjects to be found among his compositions).
