This collection of preludes and fugues for harpsichord or organ is a fine example of Albrechtsbergers well- respected theories of composition. Considered a master in this area, he was known as a great teacher with composers such as Beethoven counted among his students. This work demonstrates the expert application of his principles and offers intermediate to advanced players the opportunity to study and experience this style in its purest form.

(Johann Georg Albrechtsberger (* 3. Februar 1736 in Kloste...)
Johann Georg Albrechtsberger (* 3. Februar 1736 in Klosterneuburg, Niederösterreich; 7. März 1809 in Wien) war zu seiner Zeit einer der wichtigsten Kompositionslehrer im deutschsprachigen Raum. Zu seinen Schülern gehörten Komponisten und Musiker wie Beethoven, Ries, Czerny, Moscheles, Hummel, Pixis oder der jüngste Sohn Mozarts, Franz Xaver. Da zu seinen Lebzeiten wenig gedruckt wurde, geriet Albrechtsbergers Werk weitgehend in Vergessenheit. Eine kleine Kompositionslehre des Lehrers Johann Georg Albrechtsberger macht Bisel Classics in Kooperation mit dem Verlag von Bisel Consulting mit diesem Bändchen wieder zugänglich, damit das Wissen und die Erfahrungen von einem der ganz großen Komponisten und Musikwissenschaftler seiner Zeit auch für künftige Generationen erhalten bleiben.

Albrechtsberger was born on February 3, 1736, in Kloster-Neuburg, Austria.
He studied musical composition under the court organist, Mann, and became one of the most learned and skilful contrapuntists of his age.
After being employed as organist at Raab and Maria-Taferl, he was appointed in 1772 organist to the court of Vienna; and in 1792 Kapellmeister of St Stephen's cathedral.
Among these were Beethoven, Hummel, Moscheles and Josef Weigl (1766 - 1846).
In 1790 he published at Leipzig a treatise on composition, of which a third edition appeared in 1821.
A collection of his writing on harmony, in three volumes, was published under the care of his pupil Ignaz von Seyfried (1776 - 1841) in 1826.
There is an English version of this published by Novello in 1855.
Beethoven knew his own needs when he put himself under Albrechtsberger on finding that Haydn was not thoroughly disposed for a trouble of training him; and though Albrechtsberger could see nothing in him; and warned his other pupils against '' that young man who would never turn out anything in good style, " he justified Beethoven's, confidence.
