- Krebs, Johann Ludwig: Trio in Em, Br II:31
- Unusual shifting of keys, rhythmic variety, a rondo-like form, and a chance to enjoy the abundant intertwining of the three divisions. Registration:
RH Hoofdwerk Prestant 8' + Roerfluit 8' + Octaaf 4' + Quint 3', LH Rugwerk Dulciaan 8' + Holpijp 4' + Octaaf 2',

The Hinsz-Organ at Leens in the province of Groningen (1733/34) - Samples by Hauptwerk.nl
[5:39]
HW3
- Krebs, Johann Ludwig: Praeludium et Fuga in C, Br I:01
- The prelude starts with virtuosic manual flourishes followed by a long pedal solo, then a long series of modulations with a few Krebsian quirks to let
you know it's not Bach or Buxtehude. The fugue in 12/8 meter is based on a 3-measure dance-like motiv with a characteristic trill. Registration
changes in the Fugue principally address the Pedal, but manual contrasts are fully utilized to showcase the subject.

HW2>3
- Krebs, Johann Ludwig: Fugue in Fm, Br II:14
- Marked "pro Organo Pleno" (for Full Organ"), the stately descending chromatic subject enters with a distinctive counter subject and only deviates
once, near the middle of the fugue, where the alto has an inverted and quickened form of the subject, but reverts to the original form through to the
end. Registration Hoofdwerk Prestant 8' + Octaaf 4' + Octaaf 2' + Mixtuur 2-4 St. + Cimbel 4-6 St., Rugpositiv

The organ of the former Hervormde kerk of Wirdum in the province of Groningen (1879) - Samples by Hauptwerk.nl
[4:44]
HW3
- Krebs, Johann Ludwig: Trio in Em, Br II:30
- A major work in 3 movements: 1) Andante, heavily ornamented and elegaic in the best Krebs fashion; 2) Allegro, the first two measures of whose jaunty
theme is a direct quote from the third movement of Bach's Trio Sonata No. 1 (BWV 525); a florid transition marked Adagio leads to 3) Allabreve which
uses ornamentation in a bolder way than movement 1.

HW2>3
- Krebs, Johann Ludwig: Fugue in Am, Br II:18

The organ of Boezemkerk in Bolnes (Ridderkerk) Holland (1959) - Samples by Hauptwerk.nl
[3:36]
HW3
- Krebs, Johann Ludwig: Praeludium in C minor, Br II:02
- A turn (G Ab G F G) in one voice, followed by three chords with all voices is the unifying feature of this sprightly prelude. Registration Manual

Frans Caspar Schnitger Organ, Duurswoude/Friesland (1723) - Samples by Prof. Helmut Maier
[1:15] (a=460 Hz)
HW3
- Krebs, Johann Ludwig: Four Preludes in F, F, C, C, Br II:04
- Played as a suite, the first prelude punctuates with one hand and the pedal, arpeggiates with the other; the second prelude is really a trio with the
pedal is less active than usual. The third is kind of an ornate little march, and the fourth a more massive procession. Silbermann Temperament.

[5:15] (a=415 Hz)
HW3
- Krebs, Johann Ludwig: Trio in Dm, Br II:27
- Krebs uses all his characteristic devices - ornaments, augmented 2nds, chromaticism, a broad range of note values from 16ths to 64ths, yet comes up
with a different trio every time. RH Man. 1 Prestant 8' + Quint 2-2/3' + Octaaf 2', LH Man. 2 Quintadena 8' +
Picolo 2' coupled to Pedal Subbas 16' + Prestant 8'. Silbermann Temperament.

[5:29]
HW3
- Krebs, Johann Ludwig: Prelude and Fugue in F# Major, Br I:07
- The gentle prelude in 12/8 meter is followed by a chromatic fugue in Common Meter. The unusual key sounds only slightly edgy in Martinus Temperament,
and there are admittedly some awkward harmonic jumps.
