Summary

During the first decades of the 19th century, the Ancient Regime tradition continues in the form of "Post-Classic" organs. Research centred on free reeds brought about the "expressive organ" (the harmonium). Romantic organ aesthetics are developed in the eastern regions (Alsace) of France as from 1830, brilliantly represented by the Callinet brothers. The Parisian romantic organ, that was to appear a little later, is somewhat different, represented by the Daublaine & Callinet and John Abbey companies, as well as by the young Cavaillé-Coll.>
