Josef Ferdinand Norbert Seger, Præludium, Es Dur (L 17)

The next compositin from manuscript Becker III.8.63 is a prelude in E flat major. I sometimes wonder how close the versions in manuscript Becker III.8.63 are to Seger’s original compositions. This prelude in E flat major is clearly a four part compositions, probably intended to be played with the pedals. The four part texture is often reduced to a three part texture for no apparent reason. Perhaps this was done to make it easier to play it with hands alone? In the score I have indicated with small notes some possibilities to maintain the four part texture in sme spots where the version in the manuscripts omits the fourth part.

The recording was done with the Hauptwerk software and the sampleset, made by Sonus Paradisi, of the Klapmeyer organ in the St. Nikolai church in Altenbruch (https://www.sonusparadisi.cz/en/organs/germany/klapmeyer-organ-altenbruch.html).
