At the Lutherkirche, which was his artistic home next to his teaching at the Hochschule, he played in the concert series, the complete organ works of Michael Praetorius, Dietrich Buxtehude, J.S. Bach, and especially of his teacher Johann Nepomuk David. His work as a composer was for Dallmann a life's work.
