Peeters, Peter, ed
This volume of The Organ Yearbook spotlights claviorgans and the art of basso
continuo.
Eleanor Smith explores the early claviorgan and its role in accompaniment,
whereas the coming about and building details of a brand new claviorgan,
built for the ensemble Göteborg Baroque, is described by Joel Speerstra and
Magnus Kjellson.
Edoardo Bellotti and Peter van Tour open up new perspectives on the practice
of basso continuo by looking with fresh eyes at the theory and practice of
counterpoint.
Marc Schaefer presents a less-known member of a famous family of keyboard
instrument builders: the remarkably cultivated Frédéric Silbermann, who was a
composer, organist, and organ expert as well.
The organ builders Brammertz and Gilman from Kornelimünster (Rhineland) are
highlighted as German masters of the triple Tierce by Frans Jespers.
Finally, Paul Peeters unveils the participants list for the 1925
Organistentagung in Hamburg-Lübeck and investigates who actually attended
that conference.
