Quinn, Iain, ed
The organ sonatas of William Faulkes (1863-1933) and J. Frederick Bridge
(1844-1924) are elegant examples of the style that many Victorian composers
fostered in their writing for the developing symphonic organ in England. They
are playable on both small and large instruments and allow for creativity in
registration. They are also of limited technical difficulty and have an
inimitable charm that could relate well to an audience and congregation alike.
As discussed in The Genesis and Development of an English Organ Sonata
(2017), the English sonatas had an important pedagogical role jointly
inherited from Mendelssohns very practical and popular approach to the
instrument and the continued European legacy of the lesson-sonata tradition
whereby in learning a piece you also learned the instrument and vice versa.
