Hans Buchner is the cathedral organist at the Cathedral of Our Lady in Constance . Around 1525 he published his organ school Fundamentum sive ratio vera , which is of outstanding musical historical importance and is considered the earliest known organ school. In it, the organ playing tradition of the Hofhaimer School is passed down as comprehensively as it is unique . It is divided into three parts. The first part is about the art of playing ( via ludendi ), in which fingering rules are introduced, the keyboard is explained and the essence of the tablature is introduced. The second part offers instructions for intabulation , i.e. for converting a composition for singing voices into a movement for keyboard instruments. The differences in the notation for voices and those for keyboards are also described here, whereby the author shows a keen sense of the peculiarity of the organ movement. The third part provides the theoretical basis for the multi-part organ-like arrangement of liturgical chorales and, with its rules for counterpoint and diminution, provides elementary instructions for composition and improvisation . This also includes the exemplary representation of how a bass voice can be found for an existing voice and the description of the use of decorations ( colores ), which lead to organ-typical playing figures, which are finally summarized in tabular form. Following these three parts, the Fundamentum contains a total of 120 exemplary movements from the ordinarium , proprium and office area as well as hymns that represent what was previously taught in a practical way on a high musical level.
