• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

3 Sonatas for Organ by Lachner

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.

Lovely pieces ... just reading through them and now I want to try them at the organ at my earliest convenience. Especially like the Andante of the first sonata - will make for a nice prelude at some point in time.
