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.

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.

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.

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. They are ideally suited for mass and organ lessons.This organ volume brings together twelve compositions Rheinberger wrote for different occasions and at various points during his career. Included in the collection are seven short pieces in different keys that date from the early 1860s. Rheinberger wrote these at the request of his teacher Herzog and others for several organ collections of “easy, performable” pieces – and they are rewarding pieces for liturgical use. The works without opus numbers (WoO 10, 37, 56, 70) can no longer be regarded as early works. The Fugue in F minor WoO 10 of 1867, with its tendency to translate counterpoint into expressive chordal writing, already displays many characteristics of the late Rheinberger, the Canzonetta WoO 77 is a late work from autumn 1899, whereas the Romanze WoO 70 is a second version of no. 1 of the Miscellaneen op. 174 in the easier to play key of C major.Separate edition from Supplementary Volume 3 of the Rheinberger Complete Edition.

Rheinberger was inspired to compose his first opera by the great cycle of aquarelles entitled Von den Sieben Raben by the painter Moritz von Schwind (1804-1871), with whom he was acquainted. The libretto by Franz Bonn (1830-1904) follows in its essentials the story depicted in these pictures, rather than the Grimm fairytale of the same name. The work had its successful world premiere, conducted by the composer, on 23 May 1869 at the Konigliche Hof- und Nationaltheater in Munich. After the second performance in Munich, on the 8 September 1869, a reviewer wrote in the Augsburger Allgemeine Zeitung: The composer was able to express the enchantment of the story, its high-spirited simplicity and deep feeling, with great skill, and the lyrical passages of the opera provide the most positive proof of Rheinberger's talent. Possibly Engelbert Humperdinck, who was a pupil of Rheinberger in Munich from 1877 until 1879, was inspired by Die sieben Raben to compose his fairy tale opera Hansel und Gretel (1893), which helped this genre to achieve great success.

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.

Josef Gabriel Rheinberger dedicated his 9th Organ Sonata (composed in May 1885) to Alexandre Guilmant, the indefatigable concertizing virtuoso who had already given the first Paris performance of Rheinberger's 1st Organ Concerto (in F major, op. 137). With opulent harmonies, conspicuously frequent tempo changes, and chords which are a true delight when played on a Cavaille-Coll organ, the rhapsodic Fantasie at the beginning of the 3rd movement certainly lives up to its name. The separate edition is taken from the Rheinberger Complete Edition.

It includes one of just two chorale settings by Rheinberger, the prelude on “Wenn ich einmal soll scheiden”. With short trios, preludes and fugues in different keys, the collection is particularly suitable for use in worship, but also for teaching.

Immediately following his first opera Rheinberger composed a small dramatic cantata for children's voices in 1863. It is based on a story from the Gospel of St. Mark, arranged as a rhymed libretto with various roles by Franz Bonn (1830-1854). Among the highpoints of the cantata are a scene of awakening fashioned as a choral recitative with an expressive piano part and a large final chorus Preist laut den Herr. Both of these helped to make the cantata very popular in Rheinberger's days with boys' and girls' choirs. Rheinberger later arranged it with an accompaniment by a small orchestra. Score available separately - see item CA.5003200.

Rhei nberger's popularity during his lifetime was based, for the most part, on his secular choral music. His cycles for men's and women's choir, most of which were commissioned works, are contained in two volumes of the Complete Edition (vols. 19 and 20). Among this music there are humorous songs and drinking songs, idyllic settings of texts drawn from nature, and songs in a folk-like idiom which are light and easily performable, as well as several more ambitious compositions which were written for choral competitions in Rheinberger's day.

This is the second supplemental volume to the complete works. It was awarded the Music Edition Prize in 1998. In spite of various books on the life and work of Rheinberger, until this publication there has not been a portrayal in pictures, with authentic texts, of his creative work and of his influence upon his contemporaries. The present publication fills this need and in preparing the book the editor has been able to choose from a large selection of, in part, previously unpublished pictures which in this collection, as a whole, present a vivid picture of Josef Gabriel Rheinberger in his surroundings and make the course of his development clearly understandable. The texts which accompany the pictures are drawn primarily from contemporary letters, reviews, monographs, etc., and they have been chosen to underscore the images of each picture.

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.
