The material posted on one of the sites of Kazakhstan, published quote by  Tatiana Prodma about the specifics of "meanings"  of  Bach organ toccatas:

- In times of Bach's, a musical language was  a household world  rhetoric , and people  easily understood it  - says musicologist . - The composer himself was a deeply religious man , and his organ improvisations sounded under the arches of the cathedral, together with the Lutheran sermons he gave his interpretation. And after his death, Bach's music for 100 years, has been consigned to oblivion , and this understanding was lost. Therefore, when recreating the semantic content of organ toccatas I had to move forward, making and verifying the assumptions  tact   after  tact again and again in the Gospels.
