Yes, but that is his mother.

Hmm. Found off the Wurlitzer video. @ approx 2:30 all of the knobs on 
the console just change , changing the timbre of the organ. This is a 
church organ, but looks to be a pretty good size one.

Yeah. Somebody pressed a thumb piston or a toe piston. That's what those 
do - change to a preset combination of stops with just one press.

These are obviously more common on organs that are electronically 
controled. (Usually they're then programmable.) But they exist even on 
many purely mechanical organs. (Then they are preset when the organ is 
built.)

Apparently. If I knew French, I'm sure the criticisms would make more 
sense. Google seemed to translate this pretty well. What this person 
seems to be saying is that you're missing the arpeggios, you're not 
using your right hand correctly, not using the footboard, and just the 
chords, You did get the tempo right, This person is a student who says 
students work hard on this piece for exams and competitions,

Ooh, this one's fighting words: Don't distribute videos that are 
disrespectful of real musicians. This is very amateurish. Widor must be 
turning in his grave.

A couple things that don't make sense in the translation: N'importe quoi 
  translates to Anything. Doesn't make sense, and the last sentence 
translates to "I do congratulate anyone!" again, doesn't make sense. 
Some nuance about the language makes these translations awekward.

Also, I'm not sure if the writer actually meant "I have broken my teeth 
on this piece" or a colloquialism like "I cut my teeth on this piece"

Hmm.

His comments on my second video are similar.

But hey, I guess some people have nothing better to do than sit around 
all day complaining? Do I *look* bothered about this trolls opinion? ;-)

I don't know, but *you* have better things to do than to worry about
negative criticism from such idiots :)
