Description:
From the preface:
Soloistic organ pedal playing characterized by cadences, inspired by the baroque instruments and more generous keyboard ranges, especially in North German organ building from the 17th/18th century onwards, inspired - reviving - the idea for "Drei Aphosrimen für Orgelpedal" (op. 10 No. 1/ 1983) by the young composition student and flautist Ricarda Meinhold (later Hartung).
However, she deliberately did not limit herself to pedal playing alone in the diction of the compact sections. Rather, dodecaphonic-influenced tone grapes support the deliberately virtuosic foot part and help the composition to achieve the desired colorfulness, which makes medium-sized two-manual instruments seem advisable. Only the middle aphorism contains pure footwork, here up to an imposing four-part texture, culminating in a tension-filled chordal diminution.
The work was premiered on July 24, 1983 in the "Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach" concert hall (former Franciscan church) in Frankfurt/Oder on the Sauer organ.
Pinned edition.
