Johann Baptist Joseph Maximilian Reger Karl Straube Goode Healey Willan Bercken Saxe Meiningen Centennial Hall 1873 1901 1902 1907 1908 1911 1913 1914 1916
Key: E minor Dedication: Karl Straube The work is structured in three sections: the introduction, a passacaglia with 26 variations that build in intensity towards the double fugue. The organist David Goode wrote that the introduction begins with dense chromaticism and flourishing figuration. The passacaglia is based on a theme which uses eleven of the twelve notes of the chromatic scale. The 26 variations are grouped in the sections: a first, intensifying speed and texture, a second as a meditative centre, and a third, again intensifying towards the fugue. He notes Reger's "effective control of pace and excitement". The Canadian composer Healey Willan heard the work, played by his friend Dalton Baker. When Baker said "that such a work could only have been composed by a 'German philosophical mind'" Willan was challenged to write a composition of the same structure, completed in 1916. Reger composed the work in 1913. He wrote the organ piece with the intent for it to be performed for organ concerts, rather than for church services, called "in grand style". Reger composed the work on a commission for the opening celebrations of a new concert hall in Breslau, the Jahrhunderthalle (Centennial Hall). Reger revived organ concert music which had become unfashionable. Karl Straube was an organist and a friend, able to play technically difficult music, and to influence the composition (the markings for expression are believed to have been influenced by him). The first performance happened in Breslau on 24 September 1913, where Straube played. Johann Baptist Joseph Maximilian Reger, commonly known as Max Reger, was born in Germany in 1873. He started composing chamber music and lieder from a young age, then he became a concert pianist and a teacher and wrote for piano and organ. In 1901 he moved to Munich, where is fame started rising, and in 1902 he married Elsa von Bercken and was excommunicated from the Catholic Church, since she was a divorced Protestant. Thanks to his friendship with Karl Straube, he directed the Leipzig University Church and taught at the Royal Conservatory in Leipzig in 1907-1908. In 1911 he became Music director at the court of Georg II of Saxe-Meiningen - position he held until 1914, when he suffered a breakdown due to his problems there. He moved with the family to Jena, commuting once a week to Leipzig for teaching. Reger died of heart attack while in Leipzig in 1916.

Johannes Brahms Richard Mühlfeld Richard Wagner Weber Saxe Meiningen Clara Schumann Schumann Meiningen Court Orchestra
Johannes Brahms composed a pair of contrasting sonatas in 1894: one in minor and one in major. At this point in his life, Brahms had taken a break from writing music. However, he was inspired to write again after listening to Richard Mühlfeld perform. Mühlfeld was a German clarinetist who began as a violinist in the Meiningen Court Orchestra but switched to clarinet three years later. Mühlfeld’s father gave him some instruction, but he was mostly self-taught, quickly becoming the principal clarinet player of the Meiningen Court Orchestra and the Beyreuth Festival Orchestra, where he met composer Richard Wagner. Wagner told Mühlfeld, “Young friend, continue this way and the whole world is open to you.” Brahms was so moved by the beautiful tone color and sound of Mühlfeld’s performance of Weber’s first clarinet concerto that he was inspired to write music again. Mühlfeld was Brahms’ inspiration for all four of his clarinet compositions. The two became close friends over the course of the compositions. Brahms had noted that one of his main inspirations was the way Mühlfeld handled technical sections and register leaps while maintaining high musicality. Before the pieces were publicly premiered on January 7th, 1895, Brahms and Mühlfeld performed them for Duke Georg of Saxe-Meiningen in September of 1894, and later for Clara Schumann in November of that year. The first movement is titled Allegro amabile, amabile meaning “sweet” or “lovely.” The first movement is in sonata-allegro form. It opens with an endearing theme that builds with intensity throughout the phrase before tapering off. The beginning theme changes moods every time it appears. The second movement, Allegro appassionato, is in contrast to the first, now in the minor key. The third movement is in a theme and variations form. The piece continues to build to a grandiose end, leaving both the performers and listener feeling triumphant.

Max Reger wrote his Organ Sonata no. 2 in D minor, catalogued as Op. 60 in 1901. It was published one year later. The work, in three sections, is dedicated to Herrn Professor Martin Krause in Dankbarkeit. Johann Baptist Joseph Maximilian Reger was a German composer, conductor, pianist, organist, and teacher. Born in Brand, Bavaria, Reger studied music in Munich and Wiesbaden with Hugo Riemann. In 1901 he settled in Munich, where he obtained concert offers and where his rapid rise to fame began. During his first Munich season, Reger appeared in ten concerts as an organist, chamber pianist and accompanist. He continued to compose without interruption. From 1907 he worked in Leipzig, where he was music director of the university until 1908 and professor of composition at the conservatory until his death. In 1911 he moved to Meiningen where he got the position of Hofkapellmeister 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. - video upload powered by (http•••)
