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.

Josef Gabriel Rheinberger: Klaviermusik in Auswahl
Josef Gabriel Rheinberger: Klaviermusik in Auswahl
Die auf zwei Hefte angelegte Auswahl zweihändiger Klaviermusik umfasst in Heft 1 die op. 5 bis 45 und ist ein Querschnitt des Bandes 35 der Gesamtausgabe aller Werke Rheinbergers. Die „drei kleinen Konzertstücke” op. 5 hat schon der Pianist Hans von Bülow sehr geschätzt und in seinem Repertoire berücksichtigt. Die Rheinbergers Frau Fanny gewidmeten 24 Präludien in Etudenform op. 14, eine Fundgrube klaviertechnischer und kompositorischer Aufgabenstellungen, erhalten ihre Farbigkeit durch ihren stilistischen Pluralismus. Manche sind zudem sehr klangschön. Neben dem „Fantasiestück” op. 23 mit seinen Tristan-Anklängen haben das charakteristische „Capriccio giocoso” op. 43 sowie „Zwei Klaviervorträge” op. 45, regelrechte Gradwanderungen zwischen barocken, klassischen und zeitgenössischen Stilelementen Eingang in die Sammlung gefunden. 280 Seiten wertvolle Klaviermusik, die ihren Platz in der Klavierliteratur (zurück)erobern wird.
