It is not unlikely that the young Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, as a student of Carl Friedrich Zelter, knew and played the organ of the Sophienkirche.
With the rediscovery of Bach's great works, but also with his own compositions, Mendelssohn helped the organ, which had received little attention as a concert instrument during the Classical period, to regain its glory in the 19th century.
