Produktbeschreibung
In 1704, following the dedication of the new organ that Eugenio Casparini built for the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul in Görlitz, Christian Ludwig Boxberg published a detailed description of the instrument. Boxberg's booklet, one of the earliest printed descriptions of a specific organ, enjoyed a wide circulation and spread a favorable impression of the organ far beyond its immediate locale. It included an engraving of the organ case, the stoplist of the organ, information about the organ's builder, a report on various innovations in the organ, and descriptions of the sounds of individual ranks of pipes. This annotated translation of Boxberg's booklet includes a facsimile of the original. It provides information about the author and the organ builder. It also traces the influence this organ exerted on 18th century middle German organ building. It will be of interest to organ scholars and organists.
