Kulturerbe Orgel

In this book, the authors proceed from the theory that the organ can be regarded as a symbol of traditions and forms of codification, in which the spirit and history of our continent to date are reflected. Independent of political boundaries and religious denominations, this instrument occupies its rightful place in cultural life and, as such, has connected people with different ethnic and social backgrounds since time immemorial, just as it reflects and passes on their influence to the same extent. In this respect, the organ is the ‘Queen of all Instruments’, exemplifying cultural phenomena in terms of their characteristics and transformations in specific eras.
