As
well as 20 organ sonatas
and seven collections of
stand-alone organ pieces
with opus numbers,
Rheinberger composed a
whole range of smaller
works for organ methods
or organ collections for
his favorite instrument,
mainly at the request of
colleagues and friends.
They are ideally suited
for mass and organ
lessons.
This
organ volume brings
together twelve
compositions Rheinberger
wrote for different
occasions and at various
points during his career.
Included in the
collection are seven
short pieces in different
keys that date from the
early 1860s. Rheinberger
wrote these at the
request of his teacher
Herzog and others for
several organ collections
of “easy,
performable†pieces
– and they are
rewarding pieces for
liturgical use. The works
without opus numbers (WoO
10, 37, 56, 70) can no
longer be regarded as
early works. The Fugue in
F minor WoO 10 of 1867,
with its tendency to
translate counterpoint
into expressive chordal
writing, already displays
many characteristics of
the late Rheinberger, the
Canzonetta WoO 77 is a
late work from autumn
1899, whereas the Romanze
WoO 70 is a second
version of no. 1 of the
Miscellaneen op. 174 in
the easier to play key of
C major.
