Organist of the town church of St Peter and Paul in Weimar from 1830, Johann Gottlob Töpfer was a virtuoso and an organ-building expert respected by Liszt. His treatises, including the Lehrbuch der Orgelbaukunst (1855), defined the ’Normalmensur’, still used as a reference for pipe scaling; he left more than four hundred works, mostly chorale preludes.
