Having published numerous organ compositions with Butz-Verlag, Margreeth Chr. de Jong was requested by the publisher to compose a collection of shorter works for organ. This has resulted in the present edition of Impressionen über 12 Klassik-Hits von Bach bis Elgar op. 120 based on a famous work by a well-known composer which was selected by the publisher. The original works have not simply been transcribed: rather, completely new compositions, some of them in a surprising style and mood, have found expression as the consequence of a free, rhapsodic and improvisatory treatment of the themes. The nature and intention of the works allow the performer a great deal of interpretive freedom. The tempo, manual and registration indications given in the score are to be understood as suggestions by the composer. An organ with two manuals and pedal suffices for the performance. May the present works be used whenever there is a wish to delight and entertain the audience with well-known works of classical literature presented ‘in a new guise’. In the context of a concert or an organ performance, it is also conceivable to have the audience guess and write down the composers' names and titles of the works, with prizes being awarded to those who recognise the most.
