Reger, Max: Three suites for Viola solo op. 131d

SKU: CA.5220500

ISBN M-007-24955-7.

The rediscovery of the original manuscripts of Max Reger's works for violin, viola, and cello op. 131a-d represents a minor sensation. These late works for solo strings dating from 1914 and 1915, the last of which was only published posthumously, were only known from the first printed editions until now, and a scholarly-critical edition based on all the sources has long been desirable. The new edition from the Max-Reger-Institut now fills this gap.

'Stucke fur die Jugend' intends to carefully introduce the piano pupils to new music. At the time that the piano pieces were created in 1927, Joseph Haas sat on the jury at the Donaueschingen Music Festival together with Paul Hindemith. In his typical manner, the pieces looked forward to the future without burning bridges to the past. The stylistic elements to be mentioned in particular are the sparing use of harmonies which give special emphasis to the linear, the staccato, the arpeggios, and the frequently used progressions of fourths. The influence of his teacher Max Reger can be noticed as well from time to time.The rhythmic energies running through the pieces are of great appeal and educational value.This new edition combines the pieces originally published in two volumes in one volume.
