organ terms ?
Hi QBay, nice to get in contact with you again in the virtual cosmos. I hope I can help you. My proposal is: send me the text of this Arp Schnitger article with more context and I will try to get a clearer impression of this sentencies. Your translation of the first s. seems correct. The translation of the 2. sentence is as right as the other, but I have the problem what is the sense ? Maybe the 10 stops are coming from a Schnitger, which is in single Parts and waits for a new church ?! Excuse me, but the sentencies are quite complicated also for a native speaker !! best greetings

Schnitger organ
Hi QBay,
now I can solve the problem: the information to the organ of Cappel says, that Schnitger took 10 stops from the former organ of this church. Obviously he recognized their quality ( perhaps 16th century ). We do not know the name of this organ builder. But together with Schnitgers new 18 stops they form one of the best instruments of this genius.
Well: now it was so easy to help you. If you have any other Problems with this sort of articles I will help you of course. My best greetings and good success

Hi QBay,
of course: that is one of the easier questions. If an organ has a "selbständiges Pedal" ( may be 'independent' in English ) then it has got a certain number of stops at this "Werk". That's regularly with bigger instruments. If an organ is not so big, then we have often a "angehängtes Pedal". It has then not a single stop for its own but uses the stops of the manuals. As the pedal has normally 16' stops it is also "angehängt" if it has got only one 16' stop ( e.g. subbass 16' ) and all the other stops are transmissions from the manual(s). I hope it is useful My best greetings

Hi QBay,
there are two terms: 1) Pedalkoppeln and 2) Manualkoppeln. Each organ has main parts called "...werk" as for instance Hauptwerk or Pedalwerk. Each of those "Werke" has a number of different stops. Those "Koppeln" are a technical system to add the stops of one "Werk" to the other, very often to the pedal(werk). So "Koppel Hauptwerk/Pedal" means: all stops of the Hauptwerk can be used on the pedal as well. This is a PEDALKOPPEL Or " Koppel Oberwerk/Hauptwerk" all stops of the Oberwerk can be played on the Hauptwerk. This is a MANUALKOPPEL Schnitger has so many stops in the pedal: so he does not need to have Pedalkoppeln at all I hope I have explained those facts a little bit. You are welcome with your questions anyway! Greetings --Metzner 08:29, 2. Mai 2010 (CEST)
Hi QBay,
yes indeed, your explanation of 'Koppel' is 100% perfect. I am always at your side with my knowledge of organs. Just go on :-) Best greetings from good old Europe Uli --Metzner 23:26, 3. Mai 2010 (CEST)
