3 pieces by Kindermann

Three pieces from his Harmonia Organica by Johann Erasmus Kindermann (29 March 1616 – 14 April 1655), a German Baroque organist and composer. He was the most important composer of the Nuremberg school in the first half of the 17th century.

Of the keyboard music, Harmonia Organica (1645) is the most important collection, not only in the musical sense but also in the history of music printing, as it is perhaps the earliest engraved German music.

Played on the beautiful Stellwagen instrument (1655-1659) at Stralsund.
