Although Wagner didn't compose organ music himself, it is not difficult to imagine his colorful orchestrations transcribed for the organ. To enrich an overly ecclesiastic organ repertoire, 19th-century composers such as the legendary organist Edwin Lemare, Sigfrid Karg-Elert, and Franz Liszt created organ transcriptions of beloved Wagner operas like Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg, Tristan und Isolde, and Tannhauser. With their intricate layering and dramatic counterpoints, these operas proved a perfect match for the splendor of the Romantic organ.
