  Max Reger: String Quartet & Clarinet Quintet
Max Reger - String Quartet in E flat major and Clarinet Quintet in A major.
Max Reger (1873 -1916), like Feruccio Busoni, had the misfortune to be born too late to be a Romantic but too early to be a full-blown modernist.
Reger's transitional music reinforces the elusive feel of the piece: harmonically diffuse and unsettled, but equally undramatic, the Wagnerian storminess replaced by a wistful yearning.

Among a variety of orchestral works, including a piano concerto and a violin concerto, Reger's Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Mozart, an arrangement of his work of the same title for two pianos, is typical of his resourceful and sometimes complex use of the theme on which it is based.
Reger wrote a considerable amount of chamber music of all kinds, with a number of violin sonatas and other duo sonatas, as well as string quartets and works for other groups of players.
Reger's organ music offers a considerable challenge to performers and some works are said to have been composed as just such a challenge to his friend, the organist Karl Straube.

 Max Reger program notes (May'02) | Chamber Orchestra of the Springs
Max Reger owned his early musical leanings at the example and enthusiasm of his father, a schoolmaster and amateur musician, and his early training to the town organist of Weiden, Adalbert Lindner.
Military service, which affected Reger's health and spirits, was followed by a period at home with his parents in Weiden and a continuing serious of composition, in particular for the organ, including a monumental series of chorale fantasias and other compositions.
Reger was a prolific composer, continuing the tradition of Bach, Mozart and the great German composers of the nineteenth century, with a technical mastery and a command of harmonic and contrapuntal resources that allowed him to expand the bounds of tonality in chromatic exploration.

 A. Schoenberg and M. Reger: Some Parallels
According to Reger, the relationship between C major and E major, for example, can be explained by means of the shared chord D—F#—A, which is the double dominant of C major and the double subdominant of E major.
Reger’s laws of harmonic logic were published by his student, Hermann Grabner, who summarized his studies with Reger in Leipzig (Reger taught in Leipzig from 1907 until his death in 1916).
He believed that Reger’s works were hard to comprehend because his aesthetic strategy was erroneous: due to the lack of diversity in the thematic material and the absence of contrast, listeners were unable to distinguish between themes and therefore had some difficulty in orienting themselves within the form.

Reger was the first German composer since J.S. Bach to devote so much of his compositional output to the organ.
Reger's pieces are incredibly pianistic and virtuosic, while still exploring the symphonic colors of the organ.

 Classical Net - Basic Repertoire List - Reger
Reger is considered by many to be the most important composer to elaborate on the stylistic traits of Johannes Brahms and move German music into the twentieth century.
His style is contrapuntally dense, with extremely fast modulations lending an atonal feel to many of his lines, though the music remains strictly tonal in its harmonic direction.

 Max Reger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The German master Max Reger died at the age of only 43, but he wrote a vast quantity of music - often in large forms, and with opus numbers that encompassed groups of works, not just single compositions.
He was a composer at variance with the Romantic movements; his output, like Brahms's, was exclusively for the concert hall, the recital room, and - more importantly, in Reger's case - the church, for he was a magnificent organist who wrote a large amount of music for the instrument.
At Max Reger's sudden death - about which there has always been some speculation - he left well over 200 works catalogued, with a large number of uncatalogued original compositions and 'arrangements'.

 Max Reger biography - 8notes.com
In 1901 he settled in Munich, where he taught organ and composition, and from 1907 he worked in Leipzig, where he was music director of the university until 1908 and professor of composition at the conservatoire until his death.
Reger was a very prolific composer, although few of his compositions are well known today.
Reger saw his music as being part of the tradition of Ludwig van Beethoven and Johannes Brahms, and his work often combines the classical structures of these composers with the extended harmonies of Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner and the complex counterpoint of Johann Sebastian Bach.

Reger composed more than 250 songs, over 150 piano pieces, and a prodigious amount of organ and chamber music, as well as a large amount of choral and orchestral music.

 Max Reger
“Have we completely forgotten that the organ is a first class instrument, not just something for churches?” This lament of Max Reger (1873-1916), quoted in a letter, was directed at the ignorance of contemporaries, to whom virtuosity in organ music, even in the works of Johann Sebastian Bach, was suspect.
Reger, however, possessed a wide knowledge of both baroque and romantic organ music, and was not dismayed by his critics.
The best known of Reger’s organ works—published without opus number—is the 'Introduction and Passacaglia' in D Minor, the opening track on this new recording by Franz Lehrndorfer.

Music director and principal conductor of the American Symphony, Leon Botstein, has established a reputation for innovative programming and for rediscovering unusual repertoire and bringing it back into the concert hall.
