Reaction against this movement brought a more moderate reform in which the Viennese cantor Salomon Sulzer (1804-90) was an outstanding figure. Sulzer aimed to restore the traditional cantillation, but without improvisation, and to make use of new music composed for the synagogue. He used the organ and included hymns in the vernacular. Sulzer's compositions, together with those of Louis Lewandowski (1821-94), another great reformer and the leading cantor of his day in Berlin, form the basis of much modern synagogue music.
