Diese Arbeit, die in aktualisierter Neuauflage vorgelegt wird, zeichnet zunachst den UEberlieferungsweg der freien Orgelwerke Buxtehudes nach, von den verschollenen Autographen bis zu den erhaltenen, vielfach mangelhaften Abschriften. Besonderes Interesse gilt der Frage, welchen Anteil die beruhmten Zeitgenossen Pachelbel und Bach an der Verbreitungsgeschichte dieser Werke hatten. Im zweiten Hauptteil werden Probleme von Stil und Form, Authentizitat und Chronologie behandelt; auch Aspekte der Spielpraxis werden berucksichtigt. Damit stellt die Arbeit eine Erganzung zur kritischen Edition der Orgelwerke Buxtehudes dar.

Der Dienst als Kantor und Organist gehort zu den haufigsten Nebentatigkeiten des Volksschullehrers im 19. Jahrhundert. Er war sowohl von staatlicher als auch von kirchlicher Seite erwunscht und fur die kirchenmusikalische Versorgung im landlichen und kleinstadtischen Bereich von wesentlicher Bedeutung.

Dazu werden Ordnungen fur die Volksschullehrerbildung in Preuen und Bayern, Berichte und Beschreibungen zum Orgelspiel an den Lehrerseminaren sowie behordlich empfohlene Lehrwerke fur den Orgelunterricht analysiert.

Aus dem Inhalt: Der Orgelunterricht an Praparandenanstalten und Lehrerseminaren in Preuen und Bayern--Analyse ausgewahlter Orgelschulen--Einblicke in die Realitat des Orgelunterrichts--Einblicke in den Organistendienst--Zur Trennung von Schul- und Kirchenamt.
