The sixteenth-century Leipzig organist Elias Nicolaus Ammerbach is remembered above all for his Tabulaturbuch, a collection of keyboard arrangements of songs, dances and other works, variously ornamented, and intended as a means of teaching both keyboard-playing and the foundations of music. He is one of the 16th century German 'colourists', who added virtuoso passage-work to pre-existing works.
