- Synopsis
- A journalist and amateur organist offers an engaging and humorous look at the personalities and music behind the intricate instruments that once represented the pinnacle of musical and technological achievement. Whitney recounts the innovations of master organ builders, the wild popularity of the instrument in America, and the sometimes-bitter rivalries between flamboyant performers who developed their own cult followings. The study concludes with reflection on renewed interest in pipe organ preservation and performance. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
