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.

Nicht zuletzt der schönen Musik wegen eine empfehlenswerte Edition.

This is a beautifully produced hardbound volume that includes a forward and critical report in English, French, and German, [...]. Recommended for lovers of German Romantic music and teachers looking for new material.

Der Band verdient Beachtung der Organisten jeglicher Ausbildungsstufe und sollte auch vom Orgelpädagogen nicht übersehen werden.
Johannes Ebenbauer, Singende Kirche, Heft 2/2011
Welch wertvoller Band für welche Perlen an Orgelminiaturen! [...] Welche musikalischen Kleinodien sind hierin enthalten![...] Neben Jugendwerken und Auftragsarbeiten für zeitgenössische Sammlungen und Orgelschulen enthält der Band auch einzelne Spätwerke, die der auch als Orgelpädagoge berühmte Rheinberger ohne Opuszahl veröffentlichen ließ. Natürlich können diese Werke nicht mithalten mit den großen Orgelsonaten. Aber es sind kleine Miniaturen, höchst kunstvoll gearbeitet und gehen dabei über einen mittleren Schwierigkeitsgrad nicht hinaus - von jedem C-Musiker mühelos zu erreichen. Ein reiches Repertoire für Gottesdienst oder Konzert und besonders auch für den Orgelunterricht.
