Title: An organ a day
Description: "Albeit a parlor reed organ, Mathias Peter Möller built his first instrument in 1875; and thirty years later, the largest pipe organ company in the world bore his name. In a period of sixty-two years he built an empire from nothing and died a very wealthy man. While much of his wealth came from phenomenal success in organbuilding, his fortunes were enhanced considerably by other activities. M. P. Möller was an extraordinary entrepreneur. This book is neither a biography of Möller nor is it an exhaustive history of the M. P. Möller Organ Company, the scope of this endeavor being intentionally limited to the lifetime of the company's founder. Rather, it is a collection of related essays focusing on significant events in the life of M. P. Möller and his enterprises. It is the hope of the author that this book will encourage others to complete the story of the world's largest organ company."
