Abstract
There is very little information on Karl Hesse in Croatian books. The author
of this article did not extensively present the main aspects of Hesse's life and
work. He elaborated only on three of Hesse's most significant instruments
while he mentioned the others in the general review. However superficial the
description of the three organs is, it testifies to a very important organ craftsman.
It is a great accomplishment to construct a bimanual mechanical
organ with over 30 registers, even with the assistance of the modem-day
technology. The fact that Hesse crafted 130 instruments attests not only to his
prominent role in the spreading of the Italian organ tradition to the north and
east, but also to the status he had in his lifetime. This article will certainly
serve as an encouragement to organologists in their further exploration of
Karl Hesse and his organs.
