Das Edmonton Journal Nr. 135 (Edmonton, Alberta Canada) bringt auf S. 14 einen englischen Artikel, der sich in Form eines Interviews mit einem "Smith" genannten Musikliebhaber mit dem Phänomen beschäftigt, dass nach J. S. Bach so wenige Orgelkompositionen geschaffen wurden:

"Is There a Literature Of Organ Since Bach?

[...]. And the organists who have happened to be real composers, front rank men, have had no particular use for their own instrument. Look at Franck, for instance. I don't deny he wrote a little good stuff for the organ, but you see when he had something really big to say he wanted an orchestra or a piano or strings. And Bruckner–well, I haven't much use for Bruckner, for he was a typical organist-composer–and typical in neglecting his own instrument." "But what about men like Vierne?" we managed to interject, "or Rheinberger? Some pianists will tell you that as an organ-composer Rheinberger is second only to Bach." "Quite. So he may be. Doesn't that confirm what I say? [...]. Why have the great masters almost unanimously agreed in ignoring the organ? There must be an explanation. Can any organist give it? – (Editorial in Musical Standard, London)." (*).

 

In The Tablet Nr. 40 (Brooklyn, New York) [Wochenzeitung der Diözese Brooklyn] berichtet auf S. 8 der Berlin-Korrespondent Dr. Willy Elmdorff von der Feier zur Einführung des ersten Berliner Bischofs Dr. Christian Schreiber am Buß- und Bettag (20.11.1929):

"BISHOP SCHREIBER TALKS ON LABOR

[...]

     On November 20, the Buss-und-Bettag, or national day of penance and prayer, 12,000 Catholics gathered in the great hall of the Sportpalast to pay honor to their new bishop. [...]. The celebrated Philharmonic Orchestra of Berlin, under the direction of Camillo Hildebrand, played Catholic music selected from the works of Richard Strauss, Anton Bruckner [Adagio der 3. Symphonie] and Franz Liszt. The program was broadcast by radio.

     Nothing was more interesting than the Bishop's address.
