Joesf Rheinberger Intermezzo and Passacgalia from Organ Sonata in E minor, Op. 132
As the sun rose on the twentieth-century so began one of the most diverse and revolutionary periods in the history of Western music. During the earlier part of the century, Franck alongside some leading lights of this movement found their way into the organ lofts of Paris and from there contributed what we now consider to be cornerstones of the organ repertory. Meanwhile, across the border a renewed enthusiasm for and interest in eighteenth-century forms influenced the Country’s composers to combine a passionate commitment to German Romanticism with the contrapuntal complexity of the Baroque German masters.
