Diese weitausgesponnene, vielteilige Fantasie folgt den Spuren eines der eigenwilligsten Spatrenaissancemeister, der durch ungewohnliche chromatische Fortschreitungen und kuhne Harmonik den Stil und den Ausdruck jener Zeit zu Ende gepragt hat. Die sieben Stationen in dieser Komposition sind charakteristische Zitate aus Madrigalen Don Carlo Gesualos, des Principe de Venosa (um 1560 - 1613). Aus den vertonbaren Buchstaben seines Namens (g-e-es-a-d) entsteht eine pragnante Intervallfolge, die als Leitmotiv in. variierter Gestalt haufig wiederkehrt. Das letzte Zitat ist identisch mit dem ersten; so schliesst sich die Folge der Stationen zu einem Ring. Der Text des Kernzitats lautet: Moro lasso al mio duolo (Ich sterbe, ach an meiner Qual), Die sieben Stationen gliedern als formale und inhaltliche Schwer- und Ruhepunkte den Verlauf des gesamten Stucks; der Beginn eines jeden neuen Zitats wird durch eine vorangehende Pause oder eine Klangfermate verdeutlicht. Dagegen bilden die sechs Intermezzi (die eigentlichen Meditationen) in ihrem verschiedenartigen Bewegungsablauf wirksame Kontrastflachen, die sich entweder aus den ruhigen Stationen unmerklich entwickeln (z. B.: A, B und E) oder in schroffem Gegensatz zu dem vorhergehenden oder nachfolgenden Abschnitt stehen. Eine Introduzione (Entwicklung des Leitmotivs) und eine Reduzione umrahmen das Werk. Anstelle eines Ausklangs im Pianissimo kann der Interpret eine jah auffahrende Schlusswendung im Fortissimo wahlen. Alte und neue Ausdrucksmittel sollen in dieser Meditation als These und Antithese gegenubergestellt und zur Synthese gefuhrt werden.

Particularly during the early 1740s, Johann Sebastian Bach concentrated intensely on studying the compositional technique of strict vocal polyphony. As an inspiration, he studied the works of older masters, copying them and, for the most part, performing them as well. A set of single parts for the Missa canonica by Francesco Gasparini in an instrumentation by Bach were recently discovered in the collection of the former Ephoralbibliothek Weissenfels; some of the parts are in Bach's own handwriting. Gasparini was esteemed in Germany particularly as a master of elaborate counterpoint and audacious harmonic writing. Bach amended the music text with a view to certain aspects of performance practice, clearly following a very specific concept of sound organization. His interest in strict counterpoint was paralleled by a tangible re-orientation in Bach's own compositional technique at the beginning of the 1740s. Francesco Gasparini's Missa canonica therefore served as a practical model for the highly developed art of canon writing and the strict polyphony in Bach's late works, as we encounter them, for example, in the B minor Mass.

During the intensive study of Johann Sebastian Bach's Musical Offering for the creation of a commissioned composition for wind trio, I had the idea of writing a larger organ work on the Royal Theme at the same time. This is how the Three Ricercare came into being. They are multi-part fantasies for organ, which - connected by the frequently transformed thematic material of the Musical Offering and the manifoldly reshaped B-A-C-H motif - alternate between free, rapsodic parts on the one hand and strictly structured parts on the other. For my 60th birthday, W. E. v. Lewinski wrote an appreciation under the title: Music in the span between constraint and freedom. This formulation aptly characterizes the new organ work.
