Schneider & Kirnberger: Organ Music

Johann Schneider was a German organist, violinist and composer (1702, Lautertal–1788, Leipzig). He wrote only a handful of pages for organ: a few sporadic preludes to chorales, the eight fugues for organ or harpsichord and a 'Clavierfuge mit dem Contrapunct in der Oktava'. His figure is thus summed up as in that of a person careful to pass on the inheritance he received. (Brilliant Classics)
