Petr Eben was a Czech composer renowned for his organ works. His compositions include the "Faust" cycle for organ, originally written as stage music for a production of Goethe's "Faust" at the Burgtheater in Vienna. Eben aimed to express the polarity of good and evil within a single person, assigning the organ a dual role that combines traditional style with the vulgarity of a barrel organ. Other significant works include "Job" for organ, which explores the biblical story of Job through music. Eben's work is known for its depth and innovative approach to organ music.
