Johann Georg Meister, Fuga für’s volle Werk (opus 11 nr 1)

Johann Georg Meister (1793 – 1870) was a German organist and composer. He was organist in the Stadtkirche in Hildburghausen. His opus 11 is available as a digital copy in the Saxon State and University Library Dresden. It’s difficult to read so I decided to republish it in a modern edition. Number 1 is a fugue for full organ (“für’s volle Werk”). It is a bit academic in that it neatly follows ‘the rules’ (exposition, episode, presentation in minor keys, episode, enlargement in subdominant, episode, stretto) but it has some nice moments.

The recording was done on the sample set of the Volkmann organ in the St. Augustine’s church in Lipiny by Piotr Grabowski for Hauptwerk.
