As well as 20 organ sonatas and seven collections of stand-alone organ pieces with opus numbers, Rheinberger composed a whole range of smaller works for organ methods or organ collections for his favorite instrument, mainly at the request of colleagues and friends.

In 1897, at the request of the English publisher Novello, Rheinberger compiled a collection of six pieces for the series “Village Organist” and had these published as “Six Short Pieces”. He drew largely on older pieces for this, but also composed three new pieces. What resulted is a delightful group of little gems for worship or organ teaching, including a short character piece, “Consolation”.
