Dead at fourty-five, Werner (1777 † 1822) is a not much known character of the classical German organ world.  He finished his career as organist in Merseburg, on a splendid instrument of four manuals and pedals with (already) a Celeste, which will be rebuilt by Ladegast and will interest Liszt so much.  Apart from his ‘Organ School’, only these Eight Chorales are known from Werner, written in a style which quickly sails far from the baroque and calls on the coming romantism, by introducing rhapsodical elements, lyrical passages, expressive modulations and much more.
 
Werner provides general indications for registration, from soft stops to full.  The works are in four or three parts, and the latter can be played in trio with coloured stops.
