Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The authors' new approach to learning two playing techniques offers a systematic method for mastering the modern, legato technique needed for organ music composed arter 1750, as well as an articulated technique for earlier works. The authors also present useful information on accompanying anthems and solos and on adapting piano and orchestral accompaniments to the organ. --This text refers to the Plastic Comb edition.

From the Publisher
This systematic approach to organ technique focuses on a modern legato technique for organ music composed after 1750, and an early technique for works written before that date.

5.0 out of 5 stars Appraisal of ORGAN TECHNIQUE: MODERN AND EARLY, May 30, 2007

By	John T. Bartsch (Salem, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Organ Technique: Modern and Early (Plastic Comb)

I have been using ORGAN TECHNIQUE: MODERN AND EARLY for less than a month with three students who are just beginning organ study. I am very pleased with the content of the book, and how it is laid out. There is attention to details that other organ books that I have used in the past do not include.

I like the specific instructions on manual and pedal technique, and I am particularly pleased with the exercises and the selections of organ literature that have been included in this book.

I am very pleased with this book.

By	Stanley L. Kasun (Schuyler, Nebraska USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Organ Technique: Modern and Early (Plastic Comb)

In the last three years I have been learning the Organ, and this book is an excellent guide and tool for doing that. It is easy to read and easy to work with -- but to learn the organ, cotninues to demand lots of time for pracitice!
