I do intend to, but since I overrun the Fan Requests Event over October and November, I'm gonna post a Halloween Event sometime around the 24th or 25th.
This review of Reger from his time is an absolute joy to read and makes me appreciate him more: "This Reger is a sarcastic, churlish fellow, bitter and pedantic and rude. He is a sort of musical Cyclops, a strong, ugly creature bulging with knotty and unshapely muscles, an ogre of composition. In listening to these works with their clumsy blocks of tone, their eternal sunless complaining, their lack of humor where they would be humorous, their lack of passion where they would be profound, their sardonic and monotonous bourdon, one is perforce reminded of the photograph of Reger which his publishers place on the cover of their catalogue of his works, the photograph that shows something that is like a swollen, myopic beetle with thick lips and sullen expression, crouching on an organ-bench. There is something repulsive as well as pedantic in this art. His works are like mathematical problems and solutions, sheer brain-spun and unlyrical works." Paul Rosenfeld, Musical Portraits, New York, 1920
I've recently discovered Reger's music and I'm fascinated by his dense counterpoint and harmonical explorations. Schoenberg said that he was a pure genius and he had an extremely important influence on Hindemith... Are there some piano works you would recommend? I listened to the Piano Concerto and I absolutely love it.

Reminds me of your dog
Reger's F is an absolute beast to play, one would debate that it being one of the hardest
@@paeffill9428 what do you mean by "F"?
@@scriabinismydog2439 F minor pno. concerto
@@paeffill9428 oh, yeah
I've seen the score... Holy scriabinoly now that's _difficult_
Like there are octaves... like a lot
It should be sonata for clarinet and piano
Reger for me seems to either be a hit or a miss, and this particular piece happens to he the latter.
