Passacaglia Click to Listen, [7:42] (Kirnberger II mod. , f(A3)=468 Hz)
From "Apparatus - Musico - Organisticus." The opening 8 measure phrase appears a total of five times, making it sort of a ritornello. Other than this, unlike other Passacaglias of the period, the Pedal is quite free to join, or not, in the general festivities. WAV file is available in RAR format: here (46.2 MB). Instrument: Johann Adam Ehrlich organ at Evangelische Stadtkirche / Bad Wimpfen, Germany (1748) - Samples by Gernot Wurst

Audio track was created with Hauptwerk v. 1 software
