Sonata Eroïca Op. 94 (1930) is a melodious piece composed by Joseph Jongen for Great Organ. Dedicated to Joseph Bonnet who was the organist of the St Eustache Church in Paris this piece is quite difficult (upper intermediate/advanced level) and requires the use of different keyboard divisions and pedals. Lasting around 16 minutes this wonderful work is quite architectural and will astonish you by its grandeur. It is the perfect piece to include in a recital. Joseph Jongen was a Belgian Organist composer and professor of harmony and counterpoint. He won the Belgian Prix de Rome and composed numerouspieces including music chamber works symphonies concertos and songs. His most famous piece is the Symphonie Concertante (1926).

Intended as pedal keyboard solos these organ pieces cover the range C1-F3. The first Étude-Caprice  Scherzando is a bouncy piece in arch form. The declamatory style of the second  Mesto forms a striking contrast: bass and treble registers set out distinct motives as though dialoguing in a play. In the second part of this movement a new motive  tenebroso is developed over a swaying ostinato in the lowest register. The third piece Giocoso is a badinerie (banter) with a Stravinskian theme. The last Étude-Caprice  Alla russa juxtaposes three strophes in toccata style.
