Abstract
2019 marks the 120th anniversary of the death of the father of symphonic organs, Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. On this occasion, it is worth recalling this monumental figure, which in the 19th century changed the image of French instruments, and thus influenced the then organ building in Europe and in many corners of the world, radiating in a unique way to present day. Reading the source materials about Aristide Cavaillé-Coll (his publications, scientific articles, notes, correspondence) and the literature of the subject allows to thoroughly follow the entire life story of this character. Below I present the silhouette of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, first of all as a man, emphasizing important moments in his life, which he experienced in parallel with the idea of symphonic organs evolving in his mind.
