Of all instruments of musical expression Bach preferred the organ. At the time when he was employed as court organist and chamber musician to Duke Wilhelm Ernst in Weimar, Bach had to perform on the organ a great deal. He prepared a repertory for those performances which includes some of his greatest works as for instance: Fantasia & Fugue in G minor (The Great) Passacaglia in C minor, Prelude and Fugue in C Minor, 8 Little Preludes & Fugues and the wonderful Orgelbuechlein. Most of his organ works date from around 1708 to 1717, through the “Little” fugue in G minor was composed in 1700. This volume contains various Choral Preludes and a composition called 4 Duets. A “Duet” really means 2 part music, and not music for Clavier 4 hands.

Over 20 of the composer's best-loved, most often performed compositions, including the Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565; Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582; the Fugue in B minor on a theme of Corelli, BWV 579, and many more. Reproduced directly from the authoritative Bach-Gesellschaft edition.

This classic method for beginners provides a brief history of the instrument, an explanation of organ construction, a discussion of the various stops and their management, a section devoted to practical study, and several pieces.

Specially arranged and edited by the esteemed musician Giuseppe Buonamici, these pieces are all in simple keys and feature helpful notes on fingering. They provide excellent preparation for Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier.
