Kurt Thomas' Mass in a op. 1 for Soloists and two mixed choirs a cappella was composed in 1925 at the end of his music studies in Leipzig. It is dedicated to his patron, Thomaskantor (choirmaster of St. Thomas) Karl Straube, in highest gratitude and reverence. It was published in the same year as his first printed work by Breitkopf & Hartel, founding a long-term collaboration which later enabled the publication of the Small Sacred Choral Music op. 25 (CHB 5344) and the conducting tutorial Lehrbuch der Chorleitung (BV 271). In 1927, it was awarded with the Beethoven-Preis of the Prussian Academy of Arts. The work is set for double choir throughout, partly also giving way to eight-part passages and shorter sections in which the choir sings in turn with the four solo voices. The Venetian polychorality is also used as a stylistic device, emphasizing the model character of baroque choral music.

Karl Straube wrote to Rheinberger about his penultimate Organ Sonata, published in 1899: Your 19th Sonata made a tremendous impression on my audience. The first ballade-like movement in particular was greatly admired by the public. In the middle movement, marked Provencalisch, Rheinberger used a theme by Machaut, whilst the third movement, with its somber improvisatory-like introduction, is very convincing.

Das kunstlerische Wirken des Komponisten und Dirigenten Wilhelm Furtwangler war ein Leben lang begleitet von dem Bemuhen, sich daruber auch theoretisch Rechenschaft zu geben. Zahlreiche Aufzeichnungen belegen das. So spannt sich ein weiter Bogen uber diese Aufsatze und Vortrage aus den Jahren 1918 bis 1954. Der Reichtum der Themen, die Allgemeingultigkeit der Problemstellung, die Gedanken und Auffassungen sind aus der Schule des Lebens selbst, aus der unmittelbaren Erfahrung von Werk und Publikum erwachsen. Furtwangler setzt sich in diesen Arbeiten mit grundsatzlichen Fragen, so u.a. der Werktreue, der Programmgestaltung, der kunstlerischen Verantwortung, der modernen Musik, auseinander und entwickelt seine Gedanken uber Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, Wagner, Hindemith, Strawinsky und andere Komponisten.
