Rezonans XVIII-wiecznej twórczości klasyków wiedeńskich w opus vitae wrocławskiego organisty Josepha Franza Wolfa (1802–1842)

This article presents the musical and composing activities of Joseph Franz Wolf (1802–1842) who was born in Czerwonków near Głubczyce in the Opole region. He became most famous as the organist of the Wrocław cathedral, although he was also appreciated as a pianist and trombonist. He held a university position as a music teacher at the Royal Academic Institute of Church Music in Wrocław, was an expert in the construction and renovation of organs, and headed the Wrocław Artists' Association as an artistic director. Wolf was also active in the field of concerts and composing, and his workshop resulted in numerous vocal and instrumental works of church music. He was particularly interested in the works of Viennese classics, which he eagerly studied and performed. Wolf's extensive and active musical activity, however, has not yet been comprehensively analyzed in the literature of the subject, and his work remains unknown to contemporary performance practice.
