The 6th Organ Sonata, composed in 1880 in E flat minor, was the first of a series of sonatas in Rheinberger's output which are more strongly symphonic. One of the features they display is the expansion of the previous three movements to a four-movement form. The grand introductory movement is followed by an Intermezzo, a gentle programmatic Marcia religiosa, and a highly effective tightly-constructed fugal Finale.

Karl Straube wrote to Rheinberger about his penultimate Organ Sonata, published in 1899: Your 19th Sonata made a tremendous impression on my audience. The first ballade-like movement in particular was greatly admired by the public. In the middle movement, marked Provencalisch, Rheinberger used a theme by Machaut, whilst the third movement, with its somber improvisatory-like introduction, is very convincing.

Josef Gabriel Rheinberger dedicated his 9th Organ Sonata (composed in May 1885) to Alexandre Guilmant, the indefatigable concertizing virtuoso who had already given the first Paris performance of Rheinberger's 1st Organ Concerto (in F major, op. 137). With opulent harmonies, conspicuously frequent tempo changes, and chords which are a true delight when played on a Cavaille-Coll organ, the rhapsodic Fantasie at the beginning of the 3rd movement certainly lives up to its name. The separate edition is taken from the Rheinberger Complete Edition.

The three-movement Organ Sonata no. 7 in F minor op. 127 dates from 1881. A Praeludium with five striking themes is followed by an Andante, which Rheinberger himself arranged a few years later as a Rhapsody for violin or oboe and organ. The Finale contains a fugue with two themes. Separate edition from the Rheinberger Complete Edition.

The Organ Sonata composed in 1891 is distinguished by its richly varied form. The 1st movement is entitled Phantasie and comprises an Andante amabile, followed by an Agitato in free sonata form. In the 2nd movement chorale-style passages alternate with fugal sections, and the 3rd movement begins with a free rhapsodic Introduction, followed by a fugue, archaically entitled Ricercar. Separate edition from the Rheinberger Complete Edition.

With the 2nd Organ Sonata in A flat major of 1871, we encounter a masterpiece which is already fully formed. The first movement, only loosely related to sonata form in the sense of the title Fantasie-Sonate, the atmospheric Adagio espressivo, and the grand finale movement with its fugue and references back to the first movement ensure great success for the grand romantic organ sonata, in spite of its technical demands.
