Fantasia auff 2 Clavier

Four years ago I started publishing the compositions contained im manuscript Am.B. 340., owned by the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin. It has been a lot of work deciphering the manuscript, creating scores, practicing the compositions and creating recordings. There are still 7 compositions left to publish and I intend to complete the work before the end of the year.

Of these 7 compositions, 3 are echo fantasias. There are based on an unknown original, or were perhaps composed by Karges himself.

Echo phantasias are of course an ideal compositional form for the organ, with it's many registration possibilities. They also tend to become a bit boring, which probably is the reason the compositional form died out after the seventeenth century.
