Book Description

Mathias Peter Möller built his first instrument (a reed organ) in 1875; and within 30 years had built the largest pipe organ company in the world. In 62 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 fortune was 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.--Publisher.
