Friedrich Friese III
Friedrich Ludwig Theodor Friese , called (Friedrich) Friese III (born April 18, 1827 in Schwerin ; † January 13, 1896 ibid), was a German organ builder . Through his work, the Friese organ building workshop became the most important in Mecklenburg in the second half of the 19th century.
Life
Friedrich Friese was born in Schwerin in 1827 as the son of the organist and organ builder Friedrich Friese (II) . After his organ builder apprenticeship in his father's workshop, begun in 1843, he went on a journey: from 1850 he worked for the Berlin organ builder Carl August Buchholz for almost two years and then until 1854 with Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in Paris. After his return in 1854, he took over his father's business in 1856. In the same year he married Maria Müller (1836–1880). From this first marriage 3 children were born, u. a. his son Heinrich Friese (1860–1948), who did an organ builder apprenticeship, but later, after studying zoology, became known as a biologist and bee researcher. Through his experiences before taking over the workshop in Kirchenstr. 1, Friedrich Friese III gave the Mecklenburg organ building new impetus. On the occasion of the restoration of the organ in the Ludwigslust city church, Friedrich Drese wrote : “Friese III belongs to a new generation of organs that create the instruments for romantic compositions. The sound of the organs is powerful, of course, with a fundamental tone and the large number of wooden pipes gives them softness, even something soft and blurred. The construction of the trumpet in the style of Andreas Silbermann is interesting . "
Like his father, Friedrich Friese III also had the grand ducal organ building privilege. In this way he was sure of the public orders of the patronage authorities. Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II. , Who particularly encouraged church building with new or restored organs, appointed Friedrich Friese III in 1873 for his services as court organ builder. In one point he remained conservative: He did not build organs with a pneumatic action , as was common practice towards the end of the 19th century, but instead kept the construction with a mechanical action.
In 1883 Friedrich Friese III married Bertha Conradi (1850-1897), the daughter of the then Schwerin Paulskirche organist Wilhelm Conradi , they had two children. He died on January 13, 1896 in Schwerin. The organ building workshop Friese in Schwerin was taken over by the organ builder Marcus Runge in 1896 .
List of works (selection)
Friedrich Friese III built 109 organs, 71 of which are completely or almost unchanged or have been restored to their original condition to this day. This list includes selected new organs from the workshop, as well as some organs that were destroyed or replaced by new organs from other organ builders.
The size of the instruments is indicated in the fifth column by the number of manuals and the number of sounding registers in the sixth column. A capital “P” stands for an independent pedal, a lowercase “p” for an attached pedal. Italicization indicates that the organ in question is no longer available or that only the brochure is from the workshop.
