Bearbeitungen eigener Werke VII für zwei Klaviere (Gesamtausgabe, Bd. 47)
As a welcome aid to becoming acquainted with new music, in the 19th century piano arrangements fulfilled something of the function of today’s broadcasts and recordings. Rheinberger made piano arrangements, mostly for four hands, of many of his works. For example, he presented the successful organ concertos and his most popular chamber music works in this form. He arranged his Piano Concerto for two pianos, and also the Suite for organ, violin and cello. A curiosity is the Tarantella from his op. 122 in a version for two pianos, eight (!) hands.

Composer
Josef Gabriel Rheinberger
| 1839-1901During the second half of the 19th century Rheinberger, who was born in 1839 in Vaduz (Liechtenstein), was a major figure of European stature. In demand as a teacher of composition and esteemed as a composer, this professor at the Munich Conservatoire and Bavarian Court Kapellmeister made his mark on a whole generation of musicians. The fact that many of his compositions were no longer performed after his death in 1901, despite their high musical qualities, was largely a result of external circumstances. The change of aesthetic orientation which began about the turn of the century led to a radical move away from the conservative-classical ideals to which Rheinberger – like Brahms – had felt himself committed. It was also a fact that Rheinberger never publicized his own works vigorously. The Josef-Rheinberger-Archiv and Carus published a complete edition of works by Josef Gabriel Rheinberger for the first time. The edition, concluded in 2009, has contributed significantly to the fact that the music of this composition teacher and Bavarian Court Kapellmeister from Munich can once again be heard around the world today.
