This volume considers the influences and development of the English
organ sonata tradition that began in the 1850s with compositions by
W. T. Best and William Spark. With the expansion of the
instrument's capabilities came an opportunity for
organist-composers to consider the repertoire anew with many
factors reinforcing a desire to elevate the literature to new
heights. This study begins by examining the legacy of the keyboard
sonata in Britain and especially the pedagogical lineage that was
to be seen through Mendelssohn and ultimately the early organ
sonatas. The abiding influence of William Crotch's lectures are
studied to illuminate how a culture of conservatism emboldened the
organist-composers towards compositions that were seen to represent
the ideals of the Classical era but in a contemporary vein. The
veneration of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven is then examined as
composers wrote "portfolio" sonatas, each with a movement in a
contrasting style to exhibit their compositional prowess while
providing repertoire for the novice and connoisseur alike. Finally
the volume considers how the British organist-composers who studied
at the Leipzig Conservatorium had a direct bearing on the
furtherance of an organ culture at home that in turn set the ground
for the seminal work in the genre, Elgar's Sonata of 1895.
