Now these are interesting, I reckon I could fumble my way through the slower movements and look forward to doing that at my College organ.
The following is snipped from Wikipedia (well below the 10% copyright edict).
Lachner was a well-known and prolific composer in his day, though he is not now considered a major composer. His work, influenced by Beethovenn and his friend Schubert is regarded as competent and craftsman-like, but is now generally little known. Among his greatest successes were his opera Caterina Cornaro (1841), his requiem and his seventh orchestral suite (1881). In the present day it may be his three sonatas for organ (Opp. 175, 176, 177) as well as chamber music, in particular his music for winds, that receives the most attention, though his string quartets and some of his eight symphonies have been performed and recorded. His songs, some of which are set to the same texts that Schubert used in his songs, contributed to the development of the German Lied.
