Saint-Saens Struggles With American Organ At Plymouth
French organist M Camille Saint-Saens touring the United States faced a tough start learning the Plymouth church organ. At 71 he found American stops and fan shaped pedals unlike French construction, aided by Scott Wheeler of Plymouth who cautioned against overstatement. He mastered essential differences and moved on, famed more as a composer than a virtuoso. Guilmant once faced a similar mishap at New York Avenue M E church where a recital halted mid piece and prompt help restored the instrument.
