The village church is very close to where Mr. Schweitzer lives
In it is one of the many organs in Europa that he has designed or rebuild, or rescued from destruction
As an organist, craftsman or scholar, Schweitzer might easily have devoted
his whole live to music
he chose the jungle hospital instead
But when he has time in Gunsbach
it is his greatest joy to come into this place and play his beloved instrument
To Schweitzer this is an ideal example of the village organ
an instrument perfectly proportioned to the size of the church
He plays Bach's prelude in D-Major
Like music a man's life is more than the sum of its parts
It is a composition with many themes and one transcendent meaning
This is a fact of alle life
The life of Albert Schweitzer is not an exception but an example
