Excerpt from The Organ and Its Position in Musical Art: A Book for Musicians and Amateurs
The object of this little book is to attempt to arouse among musical readers, more especially among the general public of amateurs of music, some interest in a great instrument which is very little understood even by many professional musi cians; to explain what the organ really is, what use should be made of it, what it can do and can not do (the latter point quite as important as the former).
