István Mátyás HANS GÁL Orgelwerke

As a performer, Gál was first and foremost a pianist (though he made it his business to learn to play most of the standard instruments). Little is known specifically of his activities as an organ player, though in an interview given to the Südwestfunk Radio in Mainz in 1986 (at the age of 96) in which he spoke about his early career as a composer, Gál stated that:
“I was very interested in the organ at that time. I played the organ myself as a young man. In Vienna you could only play the organ in a church. I did that, I often played for a service in a church, like the Catholic church. The difference is: in Germany the position of organist at a large church was a sought-after and possible profession. In Austria this profession didn’t exist. The Catholic church never spent any money on the organist. It was mostly the local village school-master who played the organ. And so for years I helped out on the organ from time to time in small churches. So I was completely at home on the instrument.”
