As with the earlier volumes in the series Easy Organ Pieces from the 19th Century, volume IV contains a collection of short freely-composed organ pieces for one- and  two-manual instruments suitable for semi-professional organists.<br>
<br>
This volume is arranged by composer rather than key as in previous volumes. The three composers represented here are biographically linked.<br>
<br>
Rheinberger whose organ works form the most significant contribution to the German repertoire between Mendelssohn and Reger is represented by the Six Short Pieces (1898) and as a first edition four early organ pieces (1858) which were not included in the Complete  Edition. The two  other composers in this collection are Josef Renner (Jr.) who was a pupil of  Rheinberger  with his  Twelve Trios for organ, op. 39 and the Englishman John Ebenezer West. West was  an admirer of  Rheinberger’s  music and his Passacaglia in B minor  dedicated to the memory of  Rheinberger  is  included.<br>
