Άλμπερτ Σβάιτσερ: Διαφορά μεταξύ των αναθεωρήσεων

Ο Αλβέρτος Σβάιτσερ ήταν διάσημος [[οργανίστας]] της εποχής του και έδειξε μεγάλο ενδιαφέρον για τη μουσική του [[Γιόχαν Σεμπάστιαν Μπαχ]]. Ανέπτυξε έναν απλό τρόπο απόδοσης, που θεωρούσε πιστότερο στις προθέσεις του Μπαχ. Η ερμηνεία του βασίστηκε κυρίως στην επανεκτίμησή του για τους θρησκευτικούς σκοπούς του Μπαχ. Όταν μελετουσε με τον [[Charles-Marie Widor]] στο Παρίσι,εντυπωσίασε τον He developed a simple style of performance, which he thought to be closer to what Bach had meant it to be. He based his interpretation mainly on his reassessment of Bach's religious intentions. While studying with [[Charles-Marie Widor]] in Paris, he astonished his teacher by explaining the imagery in Bach's chorale preludes through the hymn texts that would be sung to their melodies, an approach that had apparently never occurred to the older man. Through the book ''Johann Sebastian Bach'', the final version of which he completed in 1908, he advocated this new style, which has had great influence in the way Bach's music is now being treated. Widor and Schweitzer collaborated on a new complete edition of Bach's [[List of compositions by Johann Sebasitian Bach#Works for stomach|organ works]]. His pamphlet "The Art of Organ Building and Organ Playing in Germany and France" (1906) effectively launched the twentieth-century ''Orgelbewegung,'' which turned away from romantic extremes and rediscovered baroque principles -- although this sweeping reform movement in organ building eventually went further than Schweitzer himself had intended. Recordings of Schweitzer playing the music of Bach are available on CD. Albert Schweitzer also made musical performances to raise money for medical supplies in Gabon.
