Abstract

The present review highlights the success of the recently published edition of Georg Ruzitska`s complete organ works. Based on the composer`s manuscripts, the editing of the scores and the CD represent the first stages of the process of reintegration of Ruzitska`s compositions in the current landscape of artistic practice. In the absence of printed sources, our presentation attempts to complement and correct the information contained in the preface to the edition. Based on Ruzitska`s manuscripts and personal papers, as well as on the documents of the musical institution where he worked as a teacher and director, the text provides new information on the biography of the author and on the place of the organ repertoire in the context of the composer`s creative output.

Keywords: Georg Ruzitska, organ works, musical manuscripts, Bach reception in Transylvania
