Sigfrid Karg-Elert's colorful organ transcriptions already drew admiring comments back when they first appeared. For example, in 1911 the English expert Arthur E. Hull wrote: Karg-Elert understands the real spirit of the organ. Simple as is the texture of Handel's 'Hallelujah-Chorus', he has certainly converted it into a real organ piece worthy of the player's interest, without in the least violating the spirit of the great master's wonderful conception. From the press: ,,Neben Karg-Elerts 'Bach-Bearbeitungen' liegen nun auch seine 'Handel-Bearbeitungen' im guten Neudruck vor: das 'Halleluja' aus dem 'Messiah', ein Carpiccio F-Dur und die Variationen in E-Dur uber 'The Harmonious Blacksmith'; alles nicht ganz einfach, aber wirkungsvoll.
