How do I make a whole row follow wherever I am in the Calc document when I scroll down/up?

I'm looking for something that keeps a row from moving, or to make it stay put.

This is so that when I want to see other rows, this one locked row will stay in place and allow me to refer back to it on screen without having to scroll all the way back up to the top of the document.

Normal:

Scrolled down:

Further scrolled down:

You can see the row with the yellow background, (CD-Nr.|Title|Genre|Lang|CD) is following me as I scroll down.

How is this done?
