NihilNominis, that is an amazing sounding organ you have. And very well played too.
I think that this fugue should be rather vigourous, at least at about 92 or more on the metronome and with a strong registration. Definitely not slow with only one flute....fairly slowly...

If played as originally written for young orphan girls to play unseen behind a screen "Yes" but if the organist is seated in full view of a congregation, a definite "NO!"
