Rhei nberger's string quartets, his string quintet and his nonet for winds and strings were often performed and were very successful works during his lifetime. Their density, but also the delicateness of the scherzo movements are in the tradition of Schumann and Mendelssohn and these traits are combined with Rheinberger's sense for the clear, defined structure of the movements and solid contrapuntal writing. The octet for winds and strings is published here for the first time and the nonet, which is actually a reworking of this octet that Rheinberger undertook some twenty years later, is also published in this volume. Rheinberger made major changes from the original octet and he added two new movements to the nonet. Both works show especially the interest and pleasure which he derived from the variety in the differentiation of colors in ensemble playing. The Thema mit Veranderungen op. 93, which until now has been known as a work for string quartet, is published here with the double bass part which Rheinberger later added.

Rhei nberger's concert overtures are completely beholden to the tradition of the genre established at least since the 1820s. The spread of this genre was favored in equal measure by the growth of bourgeois musical culture and the overwhelming model of Beethoven's nine symphonies, which sowed a certain perplexity and discouragement among composers of the next generation and led them to turn increasingly to the smaller single-movement genre in their orchestral music. Soon a generic distinction arose between two types of overture. One was the autonomous overture, whose character results from its specific introductory function. Rheinberger's Academic Overture follows in this same line of tradition. The other type was the overture with subject-matter, in which the romantic inclination to recreate extra-musical material in music found an expecially fruitful field of exploration. Having originated as the opening item of an opera or play, the overture had, after all, long been accustomed to accommodating the contents of the work that followed. The concert overture on an extra-musical subject is in turn associated in particular with the works of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Rheinberger too, closely modeled his opp. 11 and 110 on Mendelssohn's overtures.

Rheinber ger's first Symphony was among the most successful and frequently performed new symphonies following its premiere in 1866. This symphonic tone painting in four movements (Prelude, Thekla, Wallenstein's Camp, Wallenstein's Death), which is based on Schiller's trilogy of dramas, was Rheinberger's only excursion into the realm of programme music. The influence of Beethoven is unmistakable, the lively 3rd movement (scherzo/trio) depicts with much humour the life of a soldier, and the sermon portrays of the zealous capuchin monk.

As a welcome aid to becoming acquainted with new music, in the 19th century piano arrangements fulfilled something of the function of today's broadcasts and recordings. Rheinberger made piano arrangements, mostly for four hands, of many of his works. For example, he presented the successful organ concertos and his most popular chamber music works in this form. He arranged his Piano Concerto for two pianos, and also the Suite for organ, violin and cello. A curiosity is the Tarantella from his op. 122 in a version for two pianos, eight (!) hands.

On account of their melodic beauty and the network of motivic development between the individual movements, the four piano trios are among the most attractive of Rheinberger's works. All works are also available in separate editions.

Volu me 15 reveals a largely unknown treasure of the romantic song for voice with piano accompaniment in which his complete 100 solo songs with opus numbers are united in one collection. The musical spectrum ranges from the naive-witty Kinderlieder op. 152 to the highly dramatic setting of Des Madchens Klage op. 57,7 from Schiller's Wallenstein. Among the authors of these poems Rheinberger's scarcely-known contemporaries are represented, just as are the great names of German literature, including Goethe, Eichendorff, and Scheffel. English and Italian poets are also represented (Burns, Moore, Petrarca, Savonarola).

In nineteenth-century Germany, the choral society movement developed into a full-scale mass phenomenon, becoming a defining feature of bourgeois musical life. Accompanying this movement was a growing need for suitable choral music, and one of the composeres constantly in demand and successfully active in this expanding market was Josef Gabriel Rheinberger. It is therefore no coincidence that secular choral music formed one of the mainstays of his output.

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. The Prelude in G major by Nikolaus Bruhns arranged by Rheinberger in 1882 specifically “for concert performance” shows Rheinberger as an editor skilled at “recreating” older works. He added individual voices or chords to the original composition, and occasionally restructured the part-writing – an interesting version for performing on a late 19th-century organ.Separate edition from Supplementary Volume 3 of the Rheinberger Complete Edition.
