Klaas Bolt

Klaas Bolt

Klaas Bolt (March 6, 1927–April 11, 1990) was a Dutch organist and improviser. He taught improvisation at the Sweelinck Conservatory (named for Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, a Dutch organist and composer of the Renaissance) in Amsterdam, where Masaaki Suzuki was among his students. [Masakata Kanazawa: "Suzuki, Masaaki", "Grove Music Online" ed. L. Macy (Accessed 15 January 2007), ] Bolt was a proponent of the use of slow tempi when playing hymns. He played many hymns at his weekly evening hymn sings, which drew substantial audiences. He would typically improvise the hymn introductions at these events.
