Tonal conception
It is an instrument of interregional Baroque sound aesthetics, i.e., a well-balanced synthesis of the most significant features of the European organ schools of the Baroque era. The tonal design is based on the German Baroque style, centered in the music of J. S. Bach. However the instrument also includes bright reeds, mutations and fonds of French and Spanish character, and late Baroque elements. The voicing and tonal finishing were in charge of Andreas Metzler in consultation with the Abbey's main organist Josep Antoni Peramos, O. Cist.[2]
