Abstract

Moritz Brosig (1815–1887) was a Silesian musician, organist, and composer. His creative activity focused on broadly understood liturgical music. The State Archives in Opole have conserved 35 opinions about organs that were arranged by him in the years 1871–1884, and which pertain to instruments in Opole Silesia. It is an interesting and rich set of documents, full of still undiscovered knowledge about Silesian organ construction in the 18th–20th centuries. The article presents the content of expert opinion about Moritz Brosig, and focuses mainly on sound issues. The author lists many names of the then organ building companies.
