This book contains the complete writings from Paris 1893-1894 by Fannie Edgar
Thomas, correspondent to New York's Musical Courier. Compiled and edited by
Agnes Armstrong, completely indexed with an extensive Name Glossary identifying
each of the personalities mentioned in the text, it comprises more than 200
pages of interviews and observations, generously illustrated with many
newly-discovered and rarely-seen period photographs and features a comprehensive
Preface by Agnes Armstrong, with Forewords by Orpha Ochse and Kurt Lueders.

Perhaps you remember the excerpts of these fascinating texts which appeared
in THE TRACKER (1990) or perhaps you know the excerpts presented in French
translations in LA FLUTE HARMONIQUE, journal of the Association Aristide
Cavaillé-Coll (1990-1998).

Now — at long last — here are the full texts of Fannie Edgar Thomas' ORGAN
LOFT WHISPERINGS, researched, corrected and annotated, describing in great
detail the Parisian music scence in the belle epoque, relating especially - but not
 exclusively - to organs and organists of the day. Here you will read about
music education in France, in the famed Conservatoire Nationale, of private
vocal and instrumental teachers, and of Americans studying music in Paris, and
see more than 50 photos relating to the text.

Checks or money orders accepted. Further order details are available on my
webpage at: www.agnesarmstrong.com


Cheers,
Agnes
