In a letter to his father Leopold, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote of his relationship to the organ: "In my eyes and ears, the organ is the queen of instruments." In spite of his enthusiasm for the instrument and the fact that Mozart himself liked to play the organ, he did not compose much music for "the queen of instruments". The organists of the day improvised when they played for mass, and the organ at that time was not a concert instrument in need of a wide-ranging repertoire.
