Gustav Adolf Merkel (Composer)
Born: 12th November 1827, Oberoderwitz, Germany
Died: 30th October 1885, Dresden, Germany
Nationality: German
Gustav Adolf Merkel was a German organist and composer.
Having been given some lessons by Schumann in his youth, Merkel spent most of his career in Dresden, concentrating on organ-playing from 1858. A Lutheran himself, he nevertheless held an appointment at the Catholic Cathedral of Dresden from 1864 until his death. During the same period he taught the organ at Dresden's Conservatory.
His compositions include nine organ sonatas (which have been recorded several times, as well as occurring quite often in organ recitals), of which the first sonata (Op.30) is written for two organists, and several dozen miniatures (some of them based on Protestant chorale melodies).
