Josef Gabriel Rheinberger

3 preludes and fugues for organ JWV 10, 13 and 17

Before Rheinberger came to public attention as an organ composer with the publication of his first Organ Sonata op. 27, he had already written a few shorter works for his favorite instrument. These include the three Preludes and Fugues JWV 10, 13 and 16 which Rheinberger composed at the age of just 15. He dedicated his early contributions to this tradition-rich genre to his organ teacher and supporter Johann Georg Herzog, who found these to be of such high quality that he offered them to a colleague for publication.
