Secrets of Organ Playing Week 62 – Echo Fantasia in D Minor –JP Sweelinck adapted by W Karges
I acknowledge @Partitura as editor of the score and for these notes:
Karges was familiar with the compositions of Sweelinck through Andreas Düben (1597 – 1662). Düben was a pupil of Sweelinck in Amsterdam from 1614 to 1620. Karges must have had access to written source material of the music of Sweelinck and his pupils. Karges’ Fantasia in D, written on folio 24 of the manuscript, is based on Sweelinck’s Fantasia SwWV 260.
The work is charming at the same time as a little demanding owing to the constant changes of manuals to bring about the echos. It requires concentration in order to stay on track!

Nice to see these (for me) so familiar notes on someone's else's music rack!
And I had some trouble with staying on track with the manual changes as well. Took several recordings before I had one without forgetting one of the numerous manual changes.
Anyway, well done, and I'm glad you found this piece good enough to play for the contest. By now I am three compositions further in this manuscript and I dare say there are some nice ones coming (though perhaps not the one first in line, as that feels a bit uninspired).
Thank you for making this edition. I really had to keep my wits about me with those manual changes. I, too, had to make several takes. My announcement tends to get more and more terse from exasperation of starting yet another take. I was interested to see the score had a pedal part, something which does not appear in the other echo fantasias.
Sweelinck did not write for pedals (though I know of at least one exception to this 'rule'). Karges, however adapted them for the use of pedals. At least that's what I think, given the distance between bass voice and tenor voice in some spots. Yet the manuscript does not generally indicate 'pedals' or 'manual' (though there are, again, several exceptions to this 'rule'). So, it's a editorial decision and you are free to play the bass voice manualiter.

I wonder what kind of music would Sweelinck create on this organ? Would it be different or the same... Thanks for sharing!
