Why does Reger's piano music have such understated joy, while his organ works, with a few exceptions, sound as if a witch was stirring the pot of liquid incantation at the witches' coven?
@@PhilipDaniel Yes, that does make sense to me. I guess turgid organ works were the style when Reger was at his zenith of creativity. He just picked up the prevailing vibe of the time, and added his commentary on it. Just my conjecture.
The melody right at the beginning is so charming. It sounds familiar
Absolument magnifique !
N'est-ce pas? ^^

Because he's writing idiomatically for both instruments.

@@PhilipDaniel Still I adore his organ works, although sometimes I force myself to listen to them.
In many of his organ works Reger is avant-garde as this instrument allows his polyphonic mind to prevail to the greatest extent imho
Благодарствую, спирачилЬ!
