Question

Arp Schnitger’s early modern examples of this instrument inspired a 20th-century “reform” movement that championed Baroque practices such as the use of high-pitched mixtures. A piece of music for this instrument begins with the three notes “G, high D, long B-flat” and (-5[1])has the common nickname “little.” The “Orpheus of Amsterdam,” Jan Pieterszoon (10[1])Sweelinck (“yahn Peters-sown SWAY-link”), was renowned as a performer of this instrument. An 18th-century Büchlein (10[2])(“BYOOKH-line”) of music for this instrument consists of chorale preludes. (10[1])The Lübeck virtuoso Dieterich Buxtehude’s (“book-stuh-HOO-duh’s”) skill on this instrument prompted an arduous journey by a composer who later wrote a Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor for it. For 10 points, name this primary instrument of J. S. Bach, (10[3]-5[1])which usually contains (-5[1])multiple keyboard manuals and a pedalboard. ■END■ (10[2])
