Title: Richard Stöhr organ works on Toccata
Post by: Sharkkb8 on Sunday 28 June 2020, 01:14
....and yet more to come from Toccata.  One late Stöhr work but two which just barely squeak by under the suggested dates for this forum.

The 1916 date of composition for the sonata is slightly odd, given that the work was published in and copyright 1914 by Böhm and announced as having been published in 1915 (http://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/anno-buch?apm=0&aid=1000001&bd=0001915&teil=0203&seite=00000088&zoom=1) by Hofmeisters Monatsbericht. If there's an explanation to that in the attached notes, I look forward to it.

Btw, the autograph manuscript of the suite op.102 in A-flat is @ IMSLP (https://imslp.org/wiki/Suite_for_Organ_and_Violin,_Op.102_(St%C3%B6hr,_Richard)) (courtesy of the Stöhr manuscript collection at St Michael college.) The organ sonata and intermezzi may be at the original site, not sure (the former at least has been published, I know.)
