Podrobný výpis o publikaci

It was only in the late Baroque when organ music began to be composed in the Czech lands. From the 18th century there are preserved not only individual organ pieces but more ones, mostly in the form of fugue which was cultivated and written out as most organ playing during Catholic services was improvised. Further from the 1740s flourished not only fugues but gradually also other forms of organ music. The types of organ pieces, including fugues, were written usually for small (double manual) organs without independent pedal and without reeds. Comparing to Austrian and South German regions it is surprising that there were no great composers´ names and even organ music itself was not so diversified in the Czech lands although they were part of the Habsburg Monarchy.
