Thank you for providing an entry for this great organ work. However, I am not entirely happy about the oft-quoted remark that it is inspired by Liszt's Fantasy and Fugue on the chorale Ad nos, ad salutarem undam. I think that a close examination of the relevant works will show that it has much greater conceptual and structural affinity with Liszt's Piano Sonata in B minor. It is a mistake to assume that one must look for an antecedent among the not-so-interesting organ works of Liszt, when the model is to be found in the piano sonata, a more recent and vastly superior work that must have been very present in Reubke's mind. The two sonatas show the interesting feature of building up to a midway "crisis point" expressed by heavy chords, which is not surpassed in intensity by the "official" climax at the end - a point missed by more organists in the Reubke sonata than by pianists in the Liszt sonata (I've heard those chords played on flutes - W. Kraft, St. Mary's, Lübeck, 1969). Reubke compensates with the brilliant harmonic progression of the left-hand chords in the concluding section - an object lesson in Sturm-und-Drang romantic harmony.- Uttenthal, Salamanca.87.49.96.920:34, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It would be helpful to know the rationale(s) for the selection of the three recordings listed - whether an editor's personal choice or from critical reviews. Davidships (talk) 01:43, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
