Structural use of sound and dynamics, illustrated from the perspective of making music on the organ

On Saturday 23 February, 2019, Klaas Hoek defended his doctoral dissertation on “Vormgevend gebruik van klank en dynamiek” in Franeker. The performance of Bach’s Johannes Passion was discussed as an autonomous æsthetical phenomenon. He did his research at the Katholieke Universiteit van Leuven, in coöperation with the Vrije Universiteit and the Orgelpark, both in Amsterdam. Because his research is important for organ music and its performance, Klaas Hoek wrote an article at the request of the editor, in which he focuses on the findings from his dissertation on organ performance.
