Summary: "Norddeutsche Orgelschule" 17th and 18th century German organ composers can be divided into two primary schools: the north and the south German schools (sometimes a third school, central German, is added). The stylistic differences were dictated not only by teacher-pupil traditions, but also by technical aspects such as the quality and the tradition of organ building, and by certain composers who would help spread national styles by travelling and learning from other countries' styles. This Listener Guide features three composers we associate with the north German school - Sweelinck, Buxtehude ad J. S. Bach. More info in our archive page @ https://archive.org/details/pcast217
