The 19 essays in this volume are a result of a symposium held in Leipzig in October 2007. It was the first congress of its kind to concern itself comprehensively and from a European viewpoint with the importance of the organ at the time of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Particular emphasis was placed there on the interconnection of aesthetics, genre history, performance practice and organology. Supplementing the book is a CD with a recording of Mendelssohns chorale fragment O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden completed by Rudolf Lutz. Scholarly research and historically informed practice come together in this audio contribution to the symposium.
