Max Reger. Hybrid Edition of works

Max Reger. Hybrid Edition of works

Edited by the Max-Reger-Institut in Karlsruhe. Editorial Directors: Susanne Popp and Thomas Seedorf.
 
In January 2008 the Max-Reger-Institut (MRI), located in Karlsruhe, Germany, has initiated the first ever scholarly-critical edition of works by Max Reger. The Reger-Werkausgabe (RWA) is sponsored by the Mainzer Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur and with its design as a hybrid edition breaks new ground in the editorial techniques. The Werkausgabe encompasses three areas of Reger's creative output: organ works, songs, and choral works, and, for the first time, Reger's arrangements of works by other composers.
 
This well-founded new edition combines the printed music with a digital counterpart. The digital section belonging to the printed music volume contains facsimiles of all available and relevant sources. With the aid of the software program Edirom these will be compared and contrasted with commentary. This means differences between the sources will be immediately visible.
 
An encyclopedic section, also in digital form, offers further information and illustrative material on the history of the work, biography (including people, institutions, correspondence, documents) and much more besides. Thus, for a clearer understanding of Reger's creative output his works are placed in their necessary historical and biographical context.
 

The digital presentation has been published within a cumulative, browser-based online portal (www.reger-werkausgabe.de) since 2021. The digital content of the volumes published on DVD before 2021 is now also available in the online portal.
