Herbert Dawson Elgar's First Organ Sonata, Op. 28, was ' composed for the visit of some American musicians to Worcester
Cathedral in July, 1898'. Writing on this work in 1922, Ernest New-man said that ' it is a fine work, full of originality, and, although rather difficult in parts, extremely effective on the organ '. Each movement is based on its own distinctive themes, with the exception of the finale which contains an interesting reminiscence of the chief theme of the slow movement.
