Hassler 48 Short Organ Pieces for Organ Solo
Despite the central role of the organ in the life of Johann Wilhelm Haßler (1747-1822), he dealt with the organ only occasionally as a composer.
The `Acht und vierzig kleine(n) Orgelstucke, theils zu Choral=Vorspielen beim offentlichen Gottesdienst, theils zur Privatubung fur angehende Orgelspieler und Schulmeister auf dem Lande bestimmt`, as says the original title, represent the entire output of his organ works. In many of these short pieces, Haßler developed a miniature-like, facet-like form combining Baroque elements with a sentimental gesture and sometimes giving an idea of a Romantic character piece.
