In ancient organs (XVI and XVIII
centuries), particularly in Italy and Spain, but also in other European
countries, the first octave of the manual and pedalboard was frequently
configured as "Short Octave".
Playing music originally written for organs with the short
octave is rendered difficult or impossible on keyboards with a normal extension.
The possibility that this device offers, available on
all three and two-manual HYMNUS organ models and on ARCHIVE modules, can
be useful for organists, including practising pieces that will be played
on ancient organs having the short octave. |
