The Organs of J. S. Bach is a comprehensive handbook to the organs encountered by Bach, whether as organist, concert artist, examiner, teacher, or visitor. Newly revised and updated, the book's entries are listed alphabetically by geographical location, from Arnstadt to Zschortau, and provide an easy-to-reference overview. Detailed information for each organ includes high quality photographs, the organ's history and its connection to Bach, its disposition as Bach would have known it, the architectural history of the church housing the instrument, and an identification of the church's organists.ÿLynn Edwards Butler's translation of Christoph Wolff and Markus Zepf's volume incorporates new research and many corrections and updates to the original German edition. Bibliographical references have been updated to include English-language sources, and the translation includes a new essay by Christoph Wolff on Bach as organist, organ composer, and organ expert. The volume also includes maps, a timeline of organ-related events, transcriptions of Bach's organ reports, a guide to examining organs attributed to Saxony's most famous organ builder Gottfried Silbermann, and biographical information on organ builders. The Organs of J. S. Bach will be an invaluable pocket reference for everyone who loves Bach's organ music.ÿPublication of this volume is supported by the American Bach Society

"We now have an English translation of the most comprehensive study of the Bach organs. This is a vital resource that will enrich the lives of many, and it provides an enlightening and exciting venture into the Bach realm." Jack Mitchener, Oberlin College "Original instruments are the subject of Lynne Edward Butler's translation of Christoph Wolff and Markus Zepf's Die Orgeln J.S. Bachs (2008), which lists each organ Bach knew or was likely to have played during half a century or more... The book's German original is now updated and presented in a very readable English complete with good scene-setting, excellent pictures, indexes, lists, and bibliography." - Peter Williams, Times Literary Supplement, November 2012
