Adagio D-moll (from XII Adagio für Orgel, Op, 52)

Johann Christian Heinrich Rinck (1770 - 1846) was a German composer and organist of the late classical and early romantic eras. He studied with Johann Christian Kittel (a pupil of Johann Sebastian Bach), and he eventually became Kantor at the music school in Darmstadt, where he was also a court organist from 1813.

This Adagio is the last piece of the collection XII Adagio für Orgel, Op. 57 from Rinck. All twelve pieces are nice early romantic pieces, which do sound good on both baroque and romantic organs. This organ model of the late baroque Stumm organ of Meisenheim, from 1768, fits this piece likes a glove (I think).
