Standard work on organ playing

For the first time, this two-volume edition offers a standard work on organ playing technique, systematically divided into 60 practice units.

It provides an overview of all relevant subject areas of manual and pedal playing, based on the textbooks by Marcel Dupré, Fernando Germani, Charles-Louis Hanon and Johannes Brahms as well as their further development and additions. In addition, there is a comprehensive range of exercises to maintain the level of performance once it has been achieved.

The compendium is a textbook for all levels of performance and training, from ambitious part-time organists to full-time church musicians and concert class students.
It is also aimed at all those who teach organ, such as private lecturers, lecturers and professors at specialist academies, conservatories, colleges and universities.
