Detailed Information on Publication Record

The publication reflects one of the key development tendency in organ buildingin in the 20th century in the form of a critical and comparative analysis. The key territorial and chronological definition here is the whole of Czechoslovakia, but this is done taking into account the development of the Organ Movement in the Central European context. Another key topic is the organological concept of Albert Schweitzer, which became the primary impetus for the development of reform tendencies in modern organ building, and to which the subsequent Organ Movement was ideologically linked. However, the author also subjects this connection to intense critical reflection and in many ways proves the significant detachment of the ideas of the Organ Movement from Schweitzer's original legacy, including a number of subsequent negative aspects that the Organ Movement brought to 20th century organism thanks to its often radical ideological ideology.
