This thesis wants to capture the circumstances of creation of compositions for
an initial period of two organists. It also wants to bring a summary of tracks for two
players (both on one and on two instruments) as evidence of the interests of
composers in this field, as well as some assistance for those wishing to those
compositions. Thesis is divided into the following chapters:
The first chapter gives a brief overview of the history of European music with
respect to the period when at least sporadically appeared songs for two organists.
The second chapter gives a brief insight into the history of the organ, their
origin and evolution over the period music.
Chapter three discusses the parallel development of other keyboard
instruments, especially the piano and harpsichord, since a long time the musical
literature for organ and these instruments are virtually identical.
In the fourth chapter describes the development of chamber music and
following the fifth chapter provides an overview of the development of four-handed
play keyboards. Chapter Six brings a short treatise on the development works for two
organists and seventh identifies specific problems in the actual interpretation. In the
eighth chapter we follow compositional work of selected tracks and the ninth is of a
similar nature. It is given to me the most important compositions for two players, six
concerts P. Antonio Soler.
