What others are saying:
"Dear Vidas. Thank you very much for the 9 days of information and exercises of the improvisation mini course. I found it very interesting and will for sure use it to improvise during church service. Your explanations (also those send in your various emails) and continuous focus on study discipline have motivated me to study in a more structured way. I need that because I am not a professional organist so I need to do all the studying in my spare time. Your valuable advises will certainly help me to improve my organ playing! Thanks again!"
(Jaap Dekker)
"I have found your download very helpful! It was really excellent! I have watched some of your teaching videos, and when I read your instructions, I try to imagine you are there teaching me! You may feel disappointed that I am ~2-3 days behind, but I am a slow learner, and I have committed to taking the time to get it right as you say. But the other night my wife commented that she had never heard me play such a detailed melody in the left hand so well! (my left hand is generally poor!)"
(John Higgins)
"Mr. Pinkevicius, you have realized what I have dreamed about ofttimes for more than 40 years. My humble thanks!"
(Gilbert Brahms)
"Awesome performance! I am performing this piece tomorrow and was having trouble deciding how to handle the rests at the end of the fugue in my very reverberant nave. Thanks for helping me clear that up!"
(Bryan Mitnaul)
"You are the first artist I've yet heard to make these early pieces musical & convincing. Bravo."
(Dana Winsor)
"One of the earliest and finest pieces of instrumental music.I assume many composers by the 18th century weren't familiar with and it became a lost gem dismissed as Gothic music."
(Stephen Armourae)
"Vidas Pinkevicius shows how even very simple techniques can go a long way- e.g. moving chords such as parallel 6ths, above a mostly static bass; or a flowing and extended melody plus chords be built over a single mode. Improvisation need not be a mysterious process. The art is to keep an eye on simple structures, even within a busy and full texture."
(John Ryley)
"Dazzling music and a masterful account, Vidas, drawing upon every resource of this very beautiful and responsive instrument! Each section offers something new and revealing, a poetry of musical textures and artistic color. Nicely recorded and elegantly narrated in such a marvelously ambient environment. The final pages breathe with sensational majesty. I admire the Art which you consistently share with your students, fans, friends and international subscribers. You shine in improvisational pieces like this, revealing a radiance which does not diminish with time."
(Glenn Tompkins, Arizona, USA)
"Thank you Vidas! No one has taught me this until now...amazingly."
(Jim Thompson)
"Your pedaling technique is simply effortless, sir! Bis, Bis! WONDERFUL..."
(Gaggy Mott, Northern Ireland)
"Thank you very much for all your work. In Spain don't have goods teachers as you. Thanks again."
(Jose Roldan)
"I am just thrilled with these pieces!!! The fact is that although I have to work hard at them to do them well and in 'almost ' concert tempo ...(I'm a late starter after all @ 60 - now 65) they are doable .... and that is encouraging. Sure it's nice to do Bach's Fugues and Cantata's and fly over the manuals/pedals ... but these are just a great stepping stone. Musical ..harmonious..not crazy fast. Soooooooo ....... I have hope at just gradually improving! Great that you play them every time Vidas .... so you can get a good idea how they are supposed sound and be performed."
(Robert Biersteker)
"Dr Vidas, thank you very much. This is helpful, especially when playing the ornaments, which are an important part of this composition... A wonderful improvisation, that would be great at the communion time of the Mass."
(Mark Downey)
"You are truly amazing, and I love and respect you, Vidas for your generosity."
(Heidi Miller)
"Wow... You make Improvising look so easy."
Michael Rowlands
"Excellent illustration of the text you share on your site. All we have to do now is to practice.... Thank you Vidas."
(Gedeon Burnemauve)
"Vidas, I am thoroughly enjoying the sight reading class. Art of Fugue is simply masterful."
