The Sonata on the 94th Psalm in C minor is a sonata for solo organ by Julius Reubke, based on the text of Psalm 94. It is considered one of the pinnacles of the Romantic repertoire. It is in three movements: *I. Grave - Larghetto - Allegro con fuoco - Grave *II. Adagio - Lento *III. Allegro - Più mosso - Allegro assai Length: c. 23 - 28 minutes ==Composition== Reubke composed the sonata while he was studying piano and composition in Weimar with Franz Liszt, and living at the Altenburg house. He composed it at the same time as his other large work, the Piano Sonata in B-flat minor, and finished it in April 1857. He dedicated it to Professor Carl Riedel and played the premiere on the Ladegast organ (1853-1855) of Merseburg Cathedral on June 17, 1857. The ''94th Psalm Sonata'' is considered to be inspired by Liszt's Fantasy and Fugue on the chorale ''Ad nos, ad salutarem undam'', Piano Sonata, symphonic poems and Wagner's operas. It is nonetheless a very individual work composed well for the organ, requiring very advanced pedal technique - which testifies to Reubke's much greater ability at the organ than Liszt - and a resourceful use of all the organ's departments. (Not that this is surprising, of course: Liszt was first and foremost a pianist. His transcendental forays into organ composition are demonstrative of his versatility and ability to move from one form to another.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sonata on the 94th Psalm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
