Most Parisian organs date from
after the revolution. The 19th
century was the era of Cavaillé-
Coll, creator of the symphonic
organ. In the 20th century, the
romantic and symphonic styles of
the 19th century were merged
with the classic style from before
the revolution, creating a new
organ type on which the
repertoire of all periods could be
played: the neoclassical organ.
