    Can anyone help me to find some short simple organ trios ?

    Within the trio collection of Rheinberger are two or three that are not difficult (the g minor and the C major come immediately to mind). Flor Peeters' instructional organ manual has a section with pieces in trio style that are excellent introductory pieces. The organ literature is rich in pieces that are in three-parts, but not strictly imitative. Among the first trio pieces I ever learned was "Ich ruf zu dir" in Bach's Orgelbüchlein.

    Do you mean "simple" or "easy"? Not trying to be smart...it makes a difference!

    This Trio in D by Johann Peter Kellner (1705-1772) would appear to be at least somewhat less complex than Bach's trio sonatas:

    Also perhaps worth noting, though it could hardly be called very short, is this item by Kellner's slightly younger contemporary (and fellow Bach disciple) Johann Ludwig Krebs:

    If you're looking to peel through some simple trios for sightreading practice, use http://imslp.org/
