Infos Orgel im Elias

There is often confusion about the organ part that Mendelssohn wrote for his performance of Elijah in London in 1847. In the later first edition, which he critically accompanied, he refrained from including a fully formulated organ part. The info document provides clarity: with the organ part written by Mendelssohn, we have an indication of how he himself would ideally have arranged the organ part, but we must also be aware that he did not consider the solution he found to be absolute, otherwise he would have insisted on including it in the first printing.
