Summary:

"Volume 1 is organized into two main sections: Part A treats general technical and musical principles, while Part B explores the stylistic differences of interpretation between music of the early and high Baroque eras, the organ music of J.S. Bach and the late Baroque, as well as the organ music of the Classic era."--Sheetmusicplus.com

"Volume 2 presents a detailed interpretation of the organ music of Germany and France between 1800 and 1930. With the Romantic style of composition there arose a change from the technical style of playing, characterized by the differentiated non-legato of the Baroque and Classic eras to a fundamental style of legato playing in the romantic era."--Sheetmusicplus.com

"[Volume 3] as in the first two parts of the organ method, here too a representative selection of composers is discussed. Alongside mainly personal recollections (e.g. from Hans Fagius) there are analytical essays (including by Jeremy Filsell). Bernhard Haas has organised one section of his text as an introduction to the playing techniques and aesthetics of new music, beginning with pieces which are easy to play. This English edition contains new chapters by Kevin Bowyer (The Development of New Organ Music in Britain / Contemporary Organ Music in North America)." --ficksmusic.com
