MAXIMILIAN REGER

19th March 1873 --- 11th May 1916

Maximilian Reger a german composer who was born at Brand, Bavaria in 1873. He studied at Weiden, Sondershausen and Wiesbaden,
and taught at the Royal academy,  Munich, from 1905-07,  when he became a  teacher at the Leipzig conservatorium,  a post which he
retained until his death, on May 11th 1916. His early piano works, Variations on a theme from Bach, Variations on a theme from Beet-
hoven, the Passacaglia and Fugue,  and later the violin sonata in F sharp minor, which also show already his individuality and remark-
able technical powers, were followed by his first Orchestral works, Sinfonietta(1906).

He moved to Leipzig, were he wrote the violin concerto and piano concerto, with a powerful Symphonie Prologue to a Tragedy and the
The Comedy Overture,  a number of Choral pieces including Die Nonmen.  Der Romische Triumphgesang and Die Weihe der Nacht,  the
fine motets written for the Thomaner-Chor and the Schlichte Wiesen sonatinas.

From the period 1911-13, when he was also director of the court ochestra at Meiningen, there dates the Romantische Suite, The Ballet
Suite, and later,  Variations on a Theme from Mozart.  From 1914 onwards his numerous  compositions includes many Chamber works,
pieces for choir and orchestra, for Piano and for Organ, and Songs.

Reger was one of the  most prolific  and in some respects,  a remarkably gifted  composer of his day.   His fertility  was extraordinary,
and he turned out work after work, often on the largest scale and in the most complex forms,  with astonishing ease. His powers as a
contrapuntist were  especially noteworthy,  and the fugue was one of his favourite forms.   But as to the  value of his immense output
critical opinion is sharply divided.
