Making Music on the Organ by Peter Hurford

In this handbook, Peter Hurford, the established organist and founder of the International Organ Festival in 1963, aims to record the ideas which underpin his performance and teaching. It is written particularly for players, both amateur and professional, and for those who are curious as to the organ's musical potential. With a discussion of the position of both the organ and the organist in relation to the rest of the musical scene, the book also comprises chapters on the workings of the instrument and on interpretation, including an examination of the interpretation of Bach. In addition, the author offers advice on technical problems.
