Organ Sonata (Elgar)

The genesis of the work was a request to Elgar to write an organ voluntary for a convention of American organists in the English city of Worcester in 1895. Instead, Elgar decided on a four movement sonata of nearly half an hour's length. The four movements are: I. Allegro maestosoII. AllegrettoIII. Andanto espressivoIV. Presto (comodo) The work was dedicated to Elgar's friend and fellow-musician Charles Swinnerton Heap (1847-1900).
