The Fantasy in D minor (No. 1) was written in 1957 by Miloslav Kabelác, one of the most influential composers of the twentieth century. The prominent Czech organist Jirí Reinberger initiated the composition. It was the composer's first work for solo organ and the piece soon became a staple of international organ repertoire. The Fantasy in G minor (No. 2) was composed the following year on commission for the 1st International Organ Competition of the Prague Spring International Festival 1958.
Although both fantasies were given the same opus number, this is the first ever edition to include both of these works in one volume. It is part of the Complete Critical Edition of the Works of Miloslav Kabelác and edited by Jan Hora, a leading Czech organist and expert on Kabelác's organ works which he recorded in their entirety.

100 Years of Bärenreiter

In the autumn of 1923, a young man produced the first music editions of his newly founded publishing house in his parents’ living room. He named his company Bärenreiter. In the spring of 1924 when Karl Vötterle came of age, he was able to register it with the German Publishers and Booksellers Association. At first, he mainly put out folk song collections, church as well as organ music including early music by Leonhard Lechner and Heinrich Schütz, at the time primarily known in specialist circles.

During the last months of the Second World War, the publishing house in Kassel was destroyed and once more a fresh beginning had to be made. With the start of the extensive German music encyclopaedia MGG – "Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart" – as well as numerous series of scholarly-critical complete editions such as the “New Mozart Edition” and the “New Bach Edition”, the visionary founder of the publisher created the basis for the further development of Bärenreiter. The musicological editions increasingly aroused interest abroad, and Bärenreiter found itself on an expansion course.

When Karl Votterle died in 1975, his daughter Barbara took over the helm, supported by her husband Leonhard Scheuch. Under their leadership, the catalogue grew significantly and the brand BÄRENREITER URTEXT was established. Finally, in 2003, their son Clemens Scheuch joined the publisher which today he is managing together with his parents. Thus Bärenreiter has remained a family business to this day and has become a company of international standing in the world of classical music.
