Abstract

In my previous article, I have presented the organ arrangements of the Herzlich tut mich verlangen choral by Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707) (choral prelude BuxWV 178) and by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) (chorale prelude BWV 727 and BWV 742).[1] As a continuation of this topic, I would like to present the same chorale in different organ arrangements by Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) – Herzlich tut mich verlagen op. 122/9 and op. 122/10 chorale prelude. Then, the next one is composed by Max Reger (1873-1916) – O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden chorale prelude, op. 135, and finally by Gárdonyi Zsolt (*1946) – Ó Krisztusfő, Te zúzott chorale prelude.
