Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, Organ Builder of Paris

Description

The book is presented in three parts, beginning with a brief history of the Cavaillé family of organ builders from the early years of the eighteenth century in the south of France. The second part of the book describes the growing interest in England in the work of Cavaillé-Coll, which was stimulated by the Great Exhibition of 1851. The third part comprises accounts of the eventual import of seven Cavaillé-Coll organs to England and two to Scotland.
