Character Biography: Joseph Rheinberger, written by David C.F. For a long time, Wright Joseph Rheinberger was known only for his organ music, which is a fundamental piece of music. In terms of quality, he did not neglect the shorter organic works either. As a result, his music is frequently performed in organ concerts, and his sonatas have been recorded several times over the past three decades. But the music community generally thinks of Rheinberger as a dull Victorian organist and pedagogue, rather than a composer, who wrote extensively and dabbled in many genres, of which organ music is only a small but significant part. Even the music papers credit him as a Victorian organist and pedagogue rather than as a composer. It came true for him because he never achieved the universal honor he deserved. And he did not repeat on earth when everyone knew how rich he was and how much he loved music.
