Abstract Russell Saunders, professor of organ at the Eastman School of Music, died suddenly and unexpectedly on December 6, 1992. He was generally acknowledged to be the foremost teacher of organ in the United States, if not the world, and a most important link between the worlds of scholar and performer. This volume, planned by his colleagues as a Festschrift in honor of his seventieth birthday, is now a memorial.
