The Technique and art of organ playing, by Clarence Dickinson, copyright 1922
by the H.W. Gray company copyright renewal assigned 1950 to the H.W. Gray Co.,
Inc.. 203 pages. great information in the book, but the cover and binding is
not in the greatest of shape, if you are seriously interested I can send
pictures because it does have damage but since it was so old and have great
information. This book is designed to provide the teacher with the technical
material necessary to carry the student from the beginning of his studies
through to the acquirement of complete command of his instrument. The aim has
been to include in one volume a study of all the distinctive principles of
organ technique, with enough illustrations and exercises through which they may
be mastered, together with interesting compositions which will at once call for
their application. It is hoped that the textual division, Part I, may prove of
value in saving the teacher's time by
supplying a book of reference for students and also by providing material from
which themes may be drawn for class conferences in which these points may be
discussed and enlarged upon. In assembling in one volume studies of all the
various points of organ technique necessary to the equipment of the organist
with as detailed a description as possible of the process by which each is to
be mastered, the author has had in mind, also, the many students who must
pursue their work without the personal guidance of a teacher. To the studio of
every teacher there come pupils who are able to remain only a short time, who
then, although eager for further study, are obliged to return to their posts to
do the best they can for their further advancement in their art, and to teach
others out of their still limited equipment. Of course nothing can ever take
the place of the personal guidance and example of an inspired teacher; this
book simply aims to provide the "next
best thing" for students who must continue their studies thus or not at all.
With their needs in view the author has endeavored, in Part I, to take up each
point of technique in logical and related order, and to describe it clearly and
definitely, with illustrations whenever they may aid in comprehension and
application; and, in Part II, to supply, also in logical order, just as many
exercises as are absolutely necessary to cover each point, and pieces which,
although they demand the application of each point of technique as it is
acquired and are therefore excellent studies, are never mere studies, but are
such as will be of use to the organist always, and of so great variety in style
that effective recital programs can be made from just these numbers
$4.00 or best offer.
