by Jacques van Oortmerssen This book provides study material, in English, for the development of a thorough and reliable organ technique based on historical principles and tradition, toward the development of expressiveness and stylistic differentiation. A central theme is the ergonometric aspect of organ playing. A major essay, �The Coherence between Musical Expression and Organ Technique,� comprises the first of two parts of the book. The second consists of many technical exercises with comments. This material is primarily intended for those with a relatively advanced keyboard technique. |
