the literature connected with the history of organ building there are many articles describing the history of organ instruments that are contemporary non-existent e.g. those that did not survive the turbulent times of the Second World War and its political and economic consequences in the whole of Europe. The area of the very rich organ building history is Silesia where three cultures: Polish, German and Czech have coexisted for ages. There is no doubt that the true image of the organ building history in Silesia can only be achieved by a meticulous search, presentation and analysis of old documents. Obviously, it would be ideal if all the described instruments still existed. It is worth noticing that reconstructing the organ building history in Silesia on the basis of archive material describing the history of the non-existent instruments is a very desirable action with a high classification and research benefits. This article presents an organ that was enriching the musical and liturgical life of the evangelical community in Strzelce Opolskie before the Second World War. There are only few parts from the original instrument that are preserved in the attic of the church. Thanks to the book of documents about the organ that can be found in the National Archives Office in Opole, we can not only reconstruct the history of this instrument but also obtain important information in the context of the whole organ building history in Silesia. Strzelce Opolskie is a small town near Opole. The old evangelical church is situated in the centre of the town near the Town Hall. In 1982 this church was given to St. Lawrence Roman-Catholic parish. In the following three years the parish priest Jerzy Stellman refurbished the church, adapting it to the liturgy of the Roman-Catholic Church. The church (presently Corpus Christi Church) was built in 1825–1826 according to the project of Ernest Samuel Friebl. There is not much information left about the church organ from the times when it was built. At best, it was an instrument of dubious quality. This fact and the later history of the organ is described in the archive documents in the National Archives Office in Opole. The first document from that set is from 13th November 1925, the last archive document is a correspondence dated in July 1929 and it mentions obtaining 2000 RM in order to refund works undertaken on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the church. The current presentation of the history of the non-existent organ from the evangelical church in Strzelce Opolskie obviously does not exhaust the whole topic. It does not resolve the doubts who was the author of the instrument and it does not provide other important data from its history. It only describes a few years in the second half of the 20th century when the 100th anniversary of the church and evangelical community took place. There is no doubt that the instrument in its dubious state survived till the Second World War. After the end of the war the evangelical community became a diaspora that had to finally give up maintenance of their own church. The church and organ were deteriorating. After Catholics took over the church, the instrument was dismantled and only a few parts were left in the attic of the church. That is how its history ends. The part of that history presented in this work helps to complete data about activity of such organ companies as Sauer or Berschdorf. Especially, a lot of information is given to describe the organ master workshop of Gustav Heinze from Żary.

A total of 60 organs were built in Slovakia after 2000, including 10 positives, 13 smaller one-manual instruments, 30 two-manual instruments, 6 three-manual instruments and one four-manual instrument. In addition to Slovak and Czech organ-builders, other foreign companies became contractors for these installations, and brought a new level of quality, as they followed the most modern trends in organ-building to a much greater extent. Some Slovak companies have also moved in this direction. However, anachronistic approaches can also be noted, especially among the older generation of Slovak organ builders. The tonal concept of many new instruments is aimed at creating versatility. In recent years, however, there has been an emerging trend to create stylistically distinct dispositions.

This paper presents an outline of the history of the Trinity Parish Church of Nowa Wieś Książęca, Kepno County (Greater Poland Voivodeship) and more specifically an in-depth review of the history of construction of its organs. The current, whole-brick church building was erected in 1803 after the former wooden church was destroyed in a fire of 1802. The new 8-rank organ (without pedals), was built by Franciszek Majewski, an organ builder from Rychtal. This instrument was reconditioned around 1877 by Johann Spiegel, who also upgraded the organ with a 2-rank pedal. Throughout the next decades, the instrument was poorly maintained and heavily battered by a wood-worm infestation, hence at the beginning of the 20th century its condition was dramatic. In 1917, the organ builder Josef Bach from Rychtal, inspected the instrument thoroughly and mended it provisionally. During the inspection he made a detailed drawing of the prospect, thanks to which it is known today how the instrument originally looked like. Due to the very poor condition of the instrument Bach suggested to the parish rector Fr Franciszek Bromm, to build a whole-new organ. After the end of the First World War, the village of Nowa Wieś Książęca was allocated to the reinstated Republic of Poland. Due to the poor state of the Trinity Parish Church building itself, it was decided to put the construction of the new organ away in time, until the church renovation is complete. It was only in 1929 when Josef Bach placed a detailed quotation for whole-new 10-rank organ for the Trinity Church. However, due to the worldwide economic turmoil (i.e. the great depression) and the pauperization of the locals, this plan was not put to work. In July of 1939 the parish unexpectedly received a legacy of 2.000 RM (Reichsmark) from Fr Franciszek Poziemba from Dobrzeń Wielki (Groß Döbern), Opole county, who was born in Nowa Wieś Książęca. The construction was again delayed due to the outbreak of the Second World War. However, the Parish finally received the legacy in December of 1939, which combined with the savings allowed for placing the order. This was done in April, 1940 by Fr Franciszek Bromm, after an official permission from the Bishop of Poznań Walenty Dymek was received. Finally, in 1941/1942, at a total expense of 6.500 RM, Josef Bach constructed the new 10-rank, dual-manual, single-pedal instrument, complete with a neo-baroque casing. Currently, the instrument undergoes exhaustive restoration by the Piotr Cynar Organ-builder Workshop of Wrocław.

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.

Moritz Brosig (1815–1887) był śląskim muzykiem, organistą i kompozytorem. Jego twórcza działalność koncentrowała się na szeroko pojętej muzyce liturgicznej. Archiwum Państwowe w Opolu przechowuje 35 opinii organoznawczych sporządzonych przez niego w latach 1871–1884, które dotyczą instrumentów na Śląsku Opolskim. Jest to niezwykle interesujący i bogaty zestaw dokumentów, pełen ciągle nieodkrytej wiedzy o śląskim budownictwie organowym XVIII–XX w. Artykuł prezentuje zawartość opinii eksperckich Moritza Brosiga. Autor skupia się na kwestiach brzmieniowych, ale wymienia także wiele nazw ówczesnych warsztatów organmistrzowskich.
