Editor: I wish to comment on Wilfried Praet's eleven-language Organ Albert F. Robinson Dictionary, recently reviewed inthis journal (33:2:9). This excellent bookis far more than "a handy reference" and its A. A. G. 0., Ch.M., L.T.C.L. contentsfar more than merely "amusing." Thisbook is an indispen sable tool for reading and translating foreign literature on the 308 North James Street, Peekskill,New York 10566 organ, especially since nothing as complete or thorough has ever beenproduced before, both in thenumber and typeof termscovered and thelanguages represented. Conventional foreign-language dic tionaries rarely include organ terminology, and even international ORGAN BUILDING & RESTORATION music lexicons rarely include organ tenns with any degree of thoroughness or accuracy. Translations of such tenns in many T. R. RENCH & CO. publications are thus often inaccurate: to cite just one of in RACINE, WIS. 53403 numerable examples, a certain French recording's program note renders "coupe.s au ton" (cut to pitch) in English as ''with short 1405 SIXTEENTH ST. • 414/633-9566 octaves"! I should also mention a particular aspect of this book whose significance might otherwise be overlooked: the inclusion of the STEINER-RECK language Esperanto. Many readers may know that Esperanto was 415 East Woodbine Street firstdeveloped just over 100 years ago by Ludovic LazarusZamen In corporated hof (1859-1917), a Russian-Polish oculist and linguist.

Since then it has continued to develop through 5031238-3987 use by a slowly but persistentlygrowing international community of Esperantists,who have producedmany translationsand original works of note, as well as variousdictionaries and lexicons,including many for various specialized fields (technological, medical, scien PIPE ORG ANS, INC . tific, etc.).

Its inclusion in the dictionaryis all the more remarkable then, as it is intendednot for readingexisting works, but forthe production offuture ones, either originalor translated. JLCoTAYLORf:J'C00 I wish to suggestthat, equippedwith this dictionary,Esperanto could become a valuable tool to the international community of ORGANBUKLDJERS organists and organbuilders, as a common language would be a TRACKER ACTION ORGANS tremendous aid in communication.

Custom designed addit ions Editor: Susan Tattershall's recent letter (32:4) raises important ques tionsabout 19th-century Americanorgans. As Ms. Tattershallis an Organbuilder Workshop expert in the restoration of 19th-century Mexican organs, her 1078 Lunalilo Home Road opinions are· based on experience. Implicit within her letter are Honolulu, Hawaii 96825 Phone: 395-4273 many questions whose answers create a framework for organ res toration. 1. How "important''is the organ? George Orwellmight have said: "All organs are created equal, except that some organs are more KIEFER TANNING CO. equal than others,"and he would be correct/ Some organs-asin all creative endeavors-stand out from the rest, exemplifyingclearly Fuu LINE OF LEATHER FOR the perfectly executed ideals of the builder. These organs-likethe ORGAN BUILDING & REPAIRS Appleton now in theMetropolitan Museum of Art, or theHook at 240 Front, Grand [\c1pids. Ml 40504 Worcester's Mechanics Hall, or the Roosevelt at St. James in Chicago, or the ''Kotz.schmar'' Austin in Portland, Maine-are so characteristic of the builders, and the period, and so completely refined that they demand to be restored with no deletions (and NELSON E. BUECHNER likely no additions). Emmanuel Episcopal Church Size has no bearing--50meare tinyand some arehuge-but such 1-/olmesburg organs are, by definition, unique and fairly rare. The rest reside somewhere furtherdown a "qualitycontinuum," ranging from very, Curator, Grand Court Organ verygood to only fair.This continuum is the ''bell-shaped curve" of John Wanamaker Store. Philadelphia statistics, which tells us that there arefew masterpieces and few "disasters," but mostlyorgans which are to one side or theother of average. Among 19th-century American builders, however, the CHARLES M. RUGGLES averages were quite high and-after some hundred years-any fatallyflawed instrumentshave likelydied a natural death. MECHANICAL ACTION ORGANS 2. If the organ in question had been built with one or two RESTORATIONS additional stops, what would they have been? For 19th-century 24493 BAGLEY ROAD American organs, this is not a difficult question to answer: (1) a CLEVELAND, OHIO 441 3B large Great had 16, 8 ,8, 8, 8, 4, 4, 2¾, 2, Mix., 8, 4; (2) a large Swell had 16, 8, 8, 8, 8, 4, 4, 2, Mix., 8, 8; (3) and a large Pedal16, 16, 16, 8, 4, 16. Structurally-thatis to say in pitch-theseorgans were quitesimilar, although the stop name and thescaling/voicing Btv111 �IATES varied quite a bit by decade and builder(for example, the organs 6 LEDGEWOOD ROAD of HenryErben, William Schuelke, and the Krauss family lookfar WILMINGTON, MASS. 01887 more similar on paperthan they sound). locarion recording - record production To address three items Ms. Tattershall cites, builders of 19th 508-658-6565 SCOTT KENT centuryAmerican organs did provide"mixtures, larger Pedalorgans [although rarely],and second manual 2' stops." The addition today of these stops to a smaller 19th-centuryAmerican organ during a restoration is in most cases not (1) an admission that American organsare, as a class, inferioror (2) an obeisanceto the superiority of the GermanOrgelbewegung. If theseuseful stops are addedtoday to a 19th-century organ, the motivation is expanding the tonal ��tyJSI&�lfMI palette rather than curingmediocrity. Ann Arbor, 48t09-20as 3. Is the added stop(s) of the correct character? In Ms. Tattershall's example, her additionof an 8' Oboeto a 19th-century Americanorgan sounds perfectlyappropriate. These organs usually had such generous pallets, wind channels, and interior physical dimensions that the essential questionis not whether the stop can KIMBER-ALLEN befitted in mechanically, but ratherwhat isthe qualityof the voice to beadded. If there were any Rohr-schalmeis,Zimbels, Larigots, or P.O. Box 2178 16' Regals provided on 19th-century American organs, they were Hagerstown, MD 21742-2178 truly scarce as hen's teeth. To graft these baroquified sounds onto unsuspecting red-blooded American organs is, well, un-Americanl But since an 8' Oboewas the most common American reedof the 19th century, thegoal of a conscientious restorer shouldbe that if High quality the originalbuilders came back to hear theorgan: Mr. Hookwould tum to Mr. Hastings and say, "You know,I forgotthat we put an tracker parts Oboe in this organ." 4. Is a stop to be substitutedmore ''valuable" than the stop we must remove to do it? This is admittedly a tougher question, as 5 19th-centuryAmerican organs are not all the same: some are more and some are lesseffective. Today, through the advantagesof travel Bruce Stevens and recordings, we have the opportunityto know organs of man.y n ORGAN CONCERTS differet cult:w"es from fourcenturies. Further, we may well want or be required to play literature that did not exist-both literally St. James's Episcopal Church 1205 West Franklin Street and figuratively-for 19th-builders and organists. 804-355-1779 Richmond, Virginia 23:l:lO The 8' "whisper stop" on both the Great and Swell is a case in point: whether it was called Dulciana, Dolce, Dolcissimo, or Aeoline, it often had priority over a Great 4' Flute or a Swell 2' voicer Flautino. Evidently 19th-century liturgies required a pianissimo C!-IARLf;S 'W. McMAN IS tonal finisher voice. But if the demands of today's liturgies have changed, must "Have voicing tools, wlll travel!" thelargely utilitarian''whisper stop" beretained, or can that space on thechest be devoted to a voice which is bothin keeping with the Johnson/Roosevelt/McManls type flue voicing overall design concept of the organ and, at the same time, more 651 Pershing Drive useful?In keeping with OHS guidelines, the removed pipes should Walnut Creek, CA 94596 (415)946-0277 besaved and stored properlywith the organ ifpossible. Some would say, 'Well, the musical function of the Great 8' Dulciana isto tumthe soundof the 8' Melodiainto magic." This is a point well taken, but a frequent OHS convention recitalist counters, "I've heard and playedon a greatmany 8' Melodias,and PTPE OlRG.'I.X lU'JT,UERS theones that are trulybeautiful are few and far between!"

I'll bet that Mr. in University Organist and Appleton did not twirl bisgrave when EmmonsHoward added a Sage Chapel Choirmaster pedal stop and 27-note clavier to bis 1830 organ (now at the t l MetropolitanMuseumofArt,NewYork) inl883.Moreto the point., Cornell University, Ithaca, New York i ! the curators at the Met decided to retain the spuriousPedal even I I _,__, .,. though they were sodesirous of authenticitythat Mann& Trupiano ______were prohibited evenfrom preventative releathering of the palletsI ROCHE PHONE: (SOS) 823,0236 Actually, after playing on the teensy-weensy pedal claviers of 18th-century France or the ultrawidely-spaced claviers of Andreas 0 rg an CO., I n C. ��m;::.:,nal Soc6ety of OrpnbuUden American lnrtltute of Organhullden Silbennann or the short-octave pulldowns of Italy or on the 799 Wesl Waler Stleel Tiiunlon, Massachusells 02780 toadstoolpedals of Spain-not to mention the "standard" flatand builders of fine mechanical AGO pedalboards of today-I believe that the type of mechanical action organs leveryou tread upon (afteryou get usedto it.,of course)is irrelevant to the tonal concept.

Springfield, MA 01103 executed in a manner which is sympathetic to the existing tonal concept. Afterall, those in search of total authenticityare welcome not to usethese added stops. 6. Are 19th-century American organs inferior to continental organs of the same period? Or are they, as Ms. Tattershallcham J.F.NORDLIE COMPANY pions, the equal of European organs, worthy of preservation and Organ Builders restoration. From the standpoint of construction, 19th-century __;______504 Charlotte Avenue - Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57103 - (605)335-3336 American organs have structural similarities-no internal walls separating divisions-to the organs of Gottfried Silberman [The 111 Registration of J.

ARCHIVIST'SREPORT HIS PAST SUMMER was the busiestseason yet for the American OrganArchive, and researcherswere workingin the collection Tthe entire season. The reputationof theArchive as an impor tant repository of organ materials is spreading. Articles on the Archive have recently beenpublished in theDutch organ journalde Mixtuur and in the German Das Instrumentbau. The former article appearedin English, while thelatter was translatedinto Germanby MartinKares, a German Ph.D. candidate who was among ourvisitors this summer. He is researching American organbuilding for his dissertation. Perhaps the most important acquisitionin recent monthswas the business records of the Berkshire Organ Co. of West Springfield, Massachusetts. Founded and organized in 1954 by David W. Cogswell (1930-1989), the company operated until his death producingor rebuilding about 150 instruments. Included in seven teen boxes were all the contracts, correspondence, photographs, sales brochures, and other business records of the firm.They were carefully packed and shipped to Princeton by OHS member Llsa Compton, who is also an archivist. Also among recent gifts was an original print of The Practical School for the Organ (1830) by Samuel PriestlyTaylor(1779-1875). Published by Firth & Hall in New York, it was perhaps the earliest American organ method. Original prints are rare, even in the best libraries, and we are grateful to own an original. It contains direc tions for registrations, finger and pedal exercises, and a collection of voluntaries suitable for church use, and intended for aspiring organists. We were also sent a number of church histories, and we are especially grateful to Donald Traser and Bruce Stevens for con tributingsix different histories for several Richmond churches. We hope that all the members of the Societyare actively searching for church histories containingorgan information for the archive. Mrs. Louis F.
