Organ - Difficulty: medium
Sonata For Organ. Composed by Julius Reubke (1834-1858). Edited by Hermann Keller. Organ (Solo). Classical Period. Organ solo book. With introductory text. 27 pages. Duration 0:28:00. Edition Peters #EP4941. Published by Edition Peters (PE.EP4941).

Item Number: PE.EP4941

ISBN 9790300700120. 9x12 inches. Key: C minor.

Reubke composed this sonata while studying piano and composition in Weimar with Franz Liszt, completing it in April, 1857 (tragically, Tuberculosis would claim him a year later, at the age of 24). He dedicated it to Professor Carl Riedel, and played the premiere on the Ladegast organ of Merseburg Cathedral on June 17th, 1857. It is an extremely individual work, requiring very advanced pedal technique; and considered to be a pinnacle of the Romantic repertoire. It is a Symphonic Poem, in that its three movements are connected, yet formally independent. It is programme music, in that the text of the 94th Psalm is used to inform the mood of the work.

  • January 28, 2007 My absolute favorite sonata for organ

    This is the MUST HAVE score in any organist's or pipe organ afficionado's library. The 94th covers every emotion I believe there is, true to the massive bi-polar disorder which David surely had. For organists, this is not the hardest piece to play, but registration must be...

    precise as does phrasing. There is a recording of Fox at Hammond Castle, a place he literally used to hang out to play that machine.

  • March 24, 2006 Imagine THIS on the Wannamaker!

    Are you ready for this? I'm no organist...I suppose I'd give anything to play though. My musical tastes run the gammut from rock to heavy metal (that's right, baby!) to blues but finally to classical...which to me is the epitome of the finest talent. This...

    particular piece I think, if I were to choose one, would have to be my all time favorite piece of music, I'll never grow tired of hearing it. The dynamics never fail to make my blood flow. Make no mistake, THIS is the kind of music the organ was built for! Speaking of dynamics, no doubt the influence of Franz Liszt is evident as he was Liszt's prized pupil, need I say more? Some say that this is one of the most significant organ pieces written in the entire 19th century. Well, it certainly has my vote. Ruebke' was a budding genious before being stricken at such a young age. One can only wonder what else would have come from him had he lived a normal lifetime. Lucky for us, he still left us this!

  • April 17, 2003 Gott, des die Rache ist.....

    This is the first line of the 94th Psalm. The psalm on wich Reubke based his Large Organsonata. By many organists this piece is seen as one of the best pieces from the romantic period. When you want to study this work you will need a good piano technique. But...

    : Do not buy the peters edition, it has a lot of mistakes, look for the faksimiletext (NMW) or the Oxford edition.

  • July 18, 2001 A BLAST TO PLAY AND HERE

    Reubke was the son of a german organ builder and a student of List! He was inspired to write this after the 94th psalm...This is his ONLY major work. His teacher's influence can be seen and heard in this dramatic work. You can truly relate the text of...

    the psalm with this work.
