    REMARKS
    Here are few remarks concerning Dugan's Klangideal, as he
    describes it in his foreword to collection of organ pieces that
    includes 24 versets, middle-sized pieces, as well as longer
    pieces, mostly written in polyphonic style. He doesn't ask
    for any particular sound colour, instead, he gives general
    remarks of choosing the stops according to dynamics
    specified:
    pp - Aeoline 8' solo, or Salicional 8' solo
    p - 2 or 3 delicate stops, such as Aeoline 8', Salicional 8' and
    Flauto dolce 8', or Hohlflte 8' or Lieblichgedeckt 8'
    mf - all 8' stops (including Principal 8' & Flutes 4') on all
    manuals
    f - all 8' & 16' stops, with Flutes 4' added, and, if necessary,
    Octave 4'
    ff - all 16', 8', 4', 2' stops, without Mixtures and Reeds
    fff - all stops, including Mixtures and Reeds
    In general, Dugan asks for rich and well-rounded sound,
    which should be well saturated, regardless of the dynamics,
    either pp or fff.
    There is another marking in Croatian that is found in score,
    being translated here as:
    aluzije otvorene - Swell box opened
    aluzije zatvorene - Swell box closed
