Untitled

Why the move? The new name seems unecessarily complicated. David Underdown 14:46, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not Equinoxes

Words ending in"x" are pluralised "ces".. Hence appendiCES, indiCES, and, of course, equinoces.. Not equinoxes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.73.46.236 (talk) 11:58, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree on appendix, index etc (though the xes forms are becoming fairly common usage, particularly in American English), but the OED speaks of the "precession of equinoxes", not equinoces. David Underdown (talk) 12:21, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

External link added to the official St Sulpice organ website

I have added this important link to the St Sulpice organ website. I have also adjusted the number of stops stated from 101 to 102, because of course the instrument when constructed by Cavaille-Coll was 100 stops, gaining the extra two principal stops on the Pedale in 1934 (courtesy of 'Societe Cavaille-Coll'), making 102 in total.

The reference to the earlier Clicquot pipework is also extremely important, as over one third of the pipework in the St Sulpice organ is 18th Century and was carefully preserved by Cavaille-Coll (the Organ specification on the website provides an indication of the origin of the stops by date). This was not a unique technique by this builder; he was extremely aware of the genius of the 18th Century organ builders and wished if at all possible to preserve the qualities of the 18th Century 'classical' organ and integrate them with his own 'Romantic' ideals of the mid-19th Century. In many respects, this is one of the underlying achievements and genius of this organ, and in scale this 'synthesis between old and new' is probably unparalled anywhere else.

Organists

I have removed Françoise Renet from the list of organists: indeed, she is not mentioned on the St-Sulpice site. Renet was interim organist during the Dupré/Grunenwald and Grunenwald/Roth interregna, but she was never appointed titulaire in her own right.

Lead

The lead needs expansion. At the least, the organ should be mentioned (and perhaps a couple of the most famous organists), and a bit about the history and architecture. "The lead should summarize the content of the article". On my watchlist for now.--D Anthony Patriarche, BSc (talk) 16:50, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
