Variation VIII
aus: Max Reger, Variation und Fuge über ein Thema von Mozart, op. 132
In the process his Mozart Variations Reger renounced the final variation and thus the highlight of the work. The present arrangement is inspired from the original version of Schumann’s Andante and Variations in B flat major, op. 46 and recovers by the addition of two cellos and horn, the slow variation of VIII with their unique sound effects for two pianists.
