A few days ago I started a new series with compositions by Fuga con seggetto doppio (see here<\/a>. Today follows the second composition in this seris, a fugue with two subjects. <\/p>\n

As far as i know there does not exist yet a complete catalogue of compositions by Seger. I did found some CD-recordings where the compositions had a catalogue-like indication, for example L 78, of CH IX. When I listened to the various compositions on those CD’s, it turned out that all the compositions with an L-number were taken from the same manuscript that I am working from. And what’s more, the numbers corresponded with the order of compositions in that manuscript. For example, the Phantasia in d Moll, L 8, on that CD, is indeed the eigth composition in manuscript Becker III.8.63. I guess the “L” is a reference to library where the source is held: the Leipziger Stadtbibliothek. <\/p>\n

As there are a lot of compositions in this manuscript, some sort of numbering or indication is needed to keep them apart. The type of the piece and the tonality is not e nough as there are for example more than 20 preludes in C major. So I decided to adopt the numbering I first met listening to that CD, and give all the compositions and ” L-number”. The fugue I publish here today is the second composition in this manuscript, and therefore indicated as L 2.<\/p>\n

The fugue shows Seger was very skilled in counterpoint. The fugues flows with a natural elegance and the result sounds as if writing a fugue is something easy to do. Well, perhaps for Seger it was.<\/p>\n

The recording was done with the sample set of the Silbermann organ of the Stadtkirche Z\u00f6blitz<\/a> by Prospectum.<\/p>\n
