Heinrich
Scheidemann is regarded
as one of the most
influential organists of
the 17th century. His
most significant
achievement lies within
his further developing of
his teacher J. P.
Sweelinck's chorale
arrangements into a
wide-ranging chorale
fantasia primarily to
display in full the
organ's sound. The
present volume
constitutes a complete
edition of all nine
Chorale Fantasias based
on Lutheran chorales
that, except for one, are
extant as individual
works. The authenticity
of six fantasias is
considered certain, with
the attribution of the
three anonymously
transmitted works being
based on the source
situation and style. The
repertoire as a whole
provides an insight into
the progressive
development of the
chorale fantasia and
concurrently represents
Scheidemann's three main
creative phases.
