[…] at the court of Georg II, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen. In 1915 he moved to Jena, commuting once a week to teach in Leipzig. He died in May 1916 on one of these trips of a heart attack at age 43. He had also been active internationally as a conductor and pianist. Among his students were Joseph Haas, Sándor Jemnitz, Jaroslav Kvapil, Ruben Liljefors, George Szell and Cristòfor Taltabull. Reger was the cousin of Hans von Koessler. Reger produced an enormous output over little more than 25 years, nearly always in abstract forms.

Koessler's Class
To think that in Budapest at the beginning of the last century Zoltán Kodály, Béla Bartók, Ernő Dohnányi and Emmerich Kálmán were all studying with the same teacher, Hans von Koessler. While the focus is rightly put on Vienna, Schoenberg and his coterie, there's something almost as extraordinary about the coruscating Bartók, his under-celebrated friend Kodály – about whose brilliant work I've been writing this week – and the future king or at least prince regent of operetta, Kálmán, brushing shoulders in the Hungarian capital.
