Book Review: Must Love Pipe Organ Tradition
Summary: 5 Stars
This book probably was a classic (in 1905). Many organs built since then clearly reflect those who read and believed. Many organs built in the US until 1940 seem like they could have been influenced. Very British - opinionated and pompous. No room for debate, etc. No offered credentials other than - because I say so. The real book (Vol 1) begins at about pg 350-400. The technical content and drawings are outstanding -- for 1905.
He had no foreknowledge of the classical revial of post-WWII. He figured -- if we have technology, why look back. It was a different age so many of his opinions sound silly -- like -- let's rename all the stops. Am I glad I read it? -Absolutely. Will I refer to it? - Undoubtedly. Will I read it again? - No -- once is enough. Age 56.
