Gathering the full texts of Baroque source material, both in the original German and in English translation, Quentin Faulkner explores registration of Bach’s works as well as other compositions of the period. He also examines several relevant organs. A large section of the book delves into specific registrations, guidelines for the use of stops or combinations, and various sources providing general comments.
