A first-person account of the post-war organ reform movement in the United States and written by one of the most beloved organbuilders of his generation, this autobiography of Charles McManis chronicles a career from the author’s formative years to his retirement in 1999. Ranging over 75 years, the book provides not only technical details, but also a fascinating look into the life of the man himself. With many illustrations and chapters devoted to topics as diverse as voicing philosophy and McManis’ wit and wisdom, the book also contains stoplists and photographs of the organs themselves.

In the first study of its kind, Stinson explores how four nineteenth century masters, Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt and Johannes Brahms, were influenced by the organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach. Citing musical examples (including facsimiles of Bach's works as copied by the four composers in question), the author maintains that they not only borrowed from Bach's organ works, but also that they were influenced in performance, editing, theory, and pedagogy. A fascinating read!
