- Artis Wodehouse describes both the similarities and the differences between her 1887 American Mason & Hamlin Liszt Organ and her 1903 French harmonium by Mustel. Both represent the highest development of their respective types of instruments, and require foot-pumping to sound the tones initiated by the player's 10 fingers..
Way to go
Ending with Johnson and Johnson's Lift Every Voice and Sing - best way to end this really informative presentation!
BTW, my first recent meeting with the harmonium was with the arrangement of Strauss's Rosen aus dem Süden by Schönberg done in YT by the Philharmonics in Cafe Sperl. Wow. And now I know that there were two harmonium traditions, I guess, the North American and the European!
Thanks, Artis!
