Before Rheinberger came to public attention as an organ composer with the publication of his first Organ Sonata op. 27, he had already written a few shorter works for his favorite instrument. These include the three Preludes and Fugues JWV 10, 13 and 16 which Rheinberger composed at the age of just 15. He dedicated his early contributions to this tradition-rich genre to his organ teacher and supporter Johann Georg Herzog, who found these to be of such high quality that he offered them to a colleague for publication.Separate edition from Supplementary Volume 3 of the Rheinberger Complete Edition.

As well as 20 organ sonatas and seven collections of stand-alone organ pieces with opus numbers, Rheinberger composed a whole range of smaller works for organ methods or organ collections for his favorite instrument, mainly at the request of colleagues and friends.The Fugue in F minor (JWV 3) on three themes shows the remarkable contrapuntal skill of a composer then aged just 14 (1853). Rheinberger dedicated it to his organ teacher Johann Georg Herzog, who remained a follower of the German Bach tradition.Separate edition from Supplementary Volume 3 of the Rheinberger Complete Edition.
