Veranstaltungsdetails
Like no other instrument, the organ is connected with the art of improvisation. The ability to let music emerge from the moment was indispensable for organists of past times and is still cultivated and highly valued today. The program will move between compositions that have long been part of the canon of the organ repertoire and music that has only recently been written or will only be written during the concert.
It is symmetrically structured. The beginning and the end are formed by two heavyweights of the baroque organ repertoire, a prelude by N. Bruhns and a work by J. S. Bach, which show a deep inner affinity. In between, variation works by Bach and Mozart show how much the technique of variation has changed from the High Baroque to the Viennese Classical period, although the compositional techniques, superficially, still seem to be the same. Improvisatory compositions and pure improvisation by Gerhard Luchterhandt round off the program.
