English organ culture in the 19th century
Het ORGEL 113 (2017), nr. 1, 24-35 [summary]
The English organs that have been placed in The Netherlands are almost all instruments from the 19th century, the period in which the English organ in a short time underwent a complete transfiguration. This process is described in this article. The most important organ builders are introduced and the characteristics of the 19th-century English organ discussed. The article opens with a short backward glance toward the 17th and 18th centuries, to make the changes in English organ building easier to understand.
