The potential of (at least) two manuals (and pedal) are fully exploited by alternating the melodic material between both hands and pedal, by inserting sections of unembellished melody, by fragmenting, and by extensively using echo techniques. Created in this way was a convincing as well as highly original redisigning of the great fantasia type coming from [[Heinrich Scheidemann|Scheidemann&#039;s]] teacher [[Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck]], thereby linking the quasi-concertante duties (Sunday vespers) of a Hamburg principal organist at the start of the 17th century with the fantasia, the then &quot;highest&quot; form of keyboard music.&lt;ref&gt;[[Pieter Dirksen]] (editor). &#039;&#039;Scheidemann: Choralfantasien für Orgel.&#039;&#039; Edition Breitkopf, 2022. p.7.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> {{Stub}}</div>
