Seger’s prelude in a moll, L 24, is, like many of Seger’s preludes based on a single motif. The motif is introduced in the first bar and Seger uses it as a building block to move through a variety of tonal centers. It is a charming piece and nice to play.
This is the last recording I made before breaking my arm. The rest of Seger’s works will ahve to wait my arm and playing ability is suffiently healed.
The recording was made with the Sweelinq software and the sampleset of the Vater-Müller organ in the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam (https://sweelinq.com/product/oude-kerk-amsterdam-vater-muller/).

Dear Auke,
I looked for L 23: it is a fugue/verse of a line, perhaps to fill the page.
I wish you to get back on your feet/arm as soon as possible and always thank you for the precious transcriptions.
Kind regards
Daniele
Yes, I skipped L 23, because it is so short. Perhaps I can combine it with another short one (if there is one). Or perhaps even better, I can try to play it now. L 25 and further are too difficult for me at the moment.
Weitere sehr kurze Stucke sind L114 und L125 (beide mit dem Tittel “Cadenzaů)
I had not looked ahead so far. It’s a good idea to combine them.
Ja, ich auch erwarte weitere Werke JFN Segers. Ich bin aus Czech Republic und Seger ist fur uns bedeutendste Barockorganist. Die orgel in der Teynkirche in Prag, wo Seger 40 Jahre Organist war, sind sehr schoen restauriet (Heinrich Mundt 1673). Ich wunsche ihnen viel Gesundheit und alles Gute!
Danke! I hope I can continue soon with Seger
Hello Sir!
I stumbled upon your wonderful website while searching for GF Kaufmann!
I attended a lecture and concert where organists attempted to recreate Kaufmann’s registrations and use them to play Bach. It was very convincing.
Thanks to this search, I discovered you!
I must warn you that your website is causing a problem with my browser and it wouldn’t let me log in. There seems to be a ‘programming error’ on your website. I don’t understand it at all. Perhaps others are less brave than me and won’t visit your site because of this problem.
I discovered this magnificent prelude by Seger in A minor. I downloaded it. Thank you very much!
You play it very well! I hope your arm has healed!
I will be lucky enough to have a beautiful organ in the church where I play, but not until 2027. Until then, I must play on a single-manual positive organ and I am looking for literature for this purpose.
But at home, I am lucky enough to have a very nice little wooden organ specially built to play in apartment buildings without disturbing the neighbours, with two manuals and pedals.
I admire your installation with this sampling method, but I am completely ignorant about it.
I am also very interested in lesser-known organ music. I look forward to visiting your site more often!
Best regards,
Jean-Yves Haymoz
Thanks for the warning. The ssl-certificate of the server needed to be renewed. I don’t know for sure the old certificate caused the problems hou experienced, but for now it seems the most likely cause. Please try my website again and see if the problem persists.
I’m glad you like my site. There is more than enough to explore already. I hope to add more scores in future, though for now I am a bit slow in adding new recordings.
