- Samenvatting:
- Even during his lifetime, Johann Sebastian Bach achieved fame primarily as a harpsichord and organ virtuoso. At the age of 18, he took up his first position as organist in Arnstadt, followed by positions as organist in Mühlhausen and Weimar. In addition to this activity, Bach was an esteemed and sometimes well-paid organ inspector who is said to have minced no words in his expert opinions. From Lübeck to Karlsbad and from Mühlhausen to Dresden, he was entrusted with numerous organ appraisals. In the process, he collaborated with Gottfried Silbermann, among others. In this handbook, the renowned Bach researchers Christoph Wolff and Markus Zepf describe - supplemented by extensive pictorial material - all instruments that are demonstrably connected with Bach, as well as numerous reference instruments from Bach's immediate environment. The enclosed documents, such as Bach's organ appraisals or Silbermann's instructions for organ testing, round out this comprehensive handbook in terms of content. A most interesting volume for all organ and Bach friends. (translated by DeepL)
