Thanks Mr.B for saving me the bother of looking up his dates. I know quite a few organists so I'll see if any of them can lend me a copy to look at. If it's legal I can scan a page (two in fact) and send them to you in the post so you can see what you think. btw I'm not keen on the Canon either - I'll join your minority club!

Intro - Fugue- Intermezzo- Scherzoso- Passacaglia.[/quote] I think I learnt something by Rheinberger during my excursion into organ music while I was at college, but it won't have been anything as grand as a sonata! Are the movements all separate, or are some/all of them linked? [/quote] In the 8th sonata of Rheinberger, the Intro, Fugue, and Intermezzo stand separately. Then the Scherzoso ( a terrific piece) at its end leads into the Passacaglia, which in turn ends by returning to the theme of the initial Introduction. If I play the Scherzoso as a 'postlude' for a service, I finish it by also adding that last 'Introduction' bit of the Passacaglia so it sounds as though it ends properly. The Reubke is an FRCO job, I havent a chance of playing it but I have a recording. Its a great piece.

When my daughter was in Wirral Youth Orchestra they played an Introduction and Fugue in D Minor. The Introduction was the 'Grave' opening of the second organ sonata, though it had been transposed from C Minor to D Minor. The fugue was an orchestration of the D Minor Fugue (from Prelude and Fugue no 3 in D Minor), though as you rightly say, the last movement of the 6th Sonata is also a short fugue in D Minor. I have no idea of the publisher of the above mentioned orchestrations, but I guess it should be possible to find. I've done this with my school orchestra, and its Goodmusic. I think their catalogue has some other 'organ' arrangements. Anybody heard the two contrasting orchestrations of the Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor by Resphegi and Stokowski? They make an interesting comparison.
