Historical Performance Practice in Organ Playing - Part 1: Baroque and Classical Era

Description

The book + music edition contains a selection of the works discussed in the book.

Laukvik's organ method Historical Performance Practice in Organ Playing has become established as a standard work. It is aimed at organists who want to incorporate the latest thinking on historical performance practice into their interpretations of works. The three volumes provide a practical introduction in a detailed, rigorously scholarly and comprehensible form, by giving organists as precise a picture of the interpretative traditions and aims of previous eras as possible. The editions are aimed not only at organists, but also at organ teachers who are looking for a manual to use in their teaching.

Part 1. Baroque and Classical Era is divided into two main sections: In Section A general technical and musical principles are discussed; Section B discusses the stylistic differentiation in interpretation between the music of the early and high Baroque, J. S. Bach and the German late Baroque, and organ music of the Classical period.
