Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Andreas Werckmeister (1645–1706) is known for articulating and propagating the new well-tempered tuning system. He was also an organist, well known for his Orgel-Probe (1681), which provided church leaders and organists with methods to examine organs that have been newly built or reconstructed. In his second edition of Orgel-Probe (1698), he mentions the organbuilder Arp Schnitger (1648–1719), who used what Werckmeister viewed as the old method of tuning, meantone temperament. The connection between the two men is examined in light of their different approaches to tuning and Schnitger's dedicatory poem for Werckmeister's 1698 edition of Orgel-Probe. (RILM) |
