Fuge für die Orgel Click to Listen, [5:2]
A 2-measure chromatic fugue subject with a recognizable 3-note component is presented both rectus (right-side-up) and inversus (up-side-down), some softer interludes on the Hinterwerk over an organ point provide welcome relief from the sternness. The work was published in 1864, much earlier than his other organ music. Possibly it is so dark because of the recent death of his friend Robert Schumann. Impulse reverberation added. Instrument: Kaul Orgelbau GmbH, St. Johannes / Weinsberg, Germany (1990) - Samples by Gernot Wurst
