The article presents a cost estimate of Carl Volkmann from Gliwice for the construction of an organ in St. Nicholas’ church in Ligota Prószkowska. The document is dated 19 June 1883. It is unclear whether the instrument was finally built, yet, the fact that detailed information about the planned instrument is included in the above-mentioned cost estimate is crucial. The presentation of this document has great significance for the continuation of research into the Gliwice organ-building workshop of Carl Volkmann.
This article is a second part of the series of texts on organs in Montenegro, in which the organs from St Nicholas’ Church and the Church of Our Lady of the Rock in Perast will be described. The description of these instruments will include their basic presentation in the context of the organ building trends in this part of Europe. Organs as a special musical instrument are an important example of the material heritage of musical culture. Montenegro, being a predominantly Orthodox country in which instrumental and vocal-instrumental music is not performed, cannot claim a large number of organs. However, their significant proportion includes historically noteworthy instruments.
