  • I have this on CD but it's by Dietrich Buxtehude and I also have it in a book of organ pieces by Buxtehude.

  • @NorbertZF

    I took the score from an organ book which was released in the 1920's in Germany. In that one Böhm is considered to be its composer.

    But who could tell for sure despite of Buxtehude and Böhm themselves? It's the typical northern german style of composing so it could have been either of them. Thanks for commenting anyway

  • Walcha was blind btw!

    Bohm is really good. North Germans organists (from Baroque) are always good though.

  • Yes you're right, he was blind. It's incredible how good he memorized these polyphonic music sheets.

    North german organ compositions were the best and had a major influence on Bach.

  • @NorbertZF Also in my Organ-Book, which is quite old, Georg Böhm is the official composer! However, this piece is just beautiful. Amazing work!

  • Now I'm not surprised my instantaneous response to this piece. I see Bach (my hero) was a pupil. This from Wiki: "... the Weimarer Orgeltabulatur, a manuscript of pieces copied by the young J.S. Bach, shows that Bach was a pupil of Böhm for a period of time." Thought I heard a connection. Apparently, Bach "loved and studied" Boehm's work. Simply marvelous. Thanks again!

  • That's a lot of footwork! Wow, I really, REALLY like this! Thanks for sharing this. Not previously familiar with Boehm.

  • très bon j'aime beaucoup !

  • As an organist in training, I've gained more appreciation for the works of the north German organists lately, particularly Buxtehude. Although the heavily contrapunctal North german schools have their appeal, I also like the simpler South German music, like Pachelbel's. I really like Walther's music.

    Bach's organ works, as with all his other instrumental works completely surpassed all nationalities and even period, as he created his own world of genius. :)

  • Georg Böhm!!! He is soooooo AMAZING!

    I love organ music and Buxtehude, Pachelbel, Georg Böhm, J.S. Bach (and some others I can't recall right now) are my top favourite German organ music composers! :)

    p.s. I am overjoyed I can rate this the 5* it deserves!
