Reger-Werkausgabe, Vol. I/7: Organ pieces III
The seventh volume in the series of organ works includes, in chronological order, the organ pieces Max Reger composed in 1904 and 1906 in Munich, in 1912 in Berchtesgaden, in 1913 in Kolberg and from 1915 to 1916 in Jena. The works presented in Vols. I/5-7 are, except for the works without opus numbers, collections of character pieces, not composed as cycles, but nevertheless arranged systematically. They mainly combine Reger’s compositions of medium difficulty, written both as a response to his large-scale works, but also with an eye to the market for printed music.
Since January 2008, the first scholarly, critical edition of the works of Max Reger (RWA) is being produced at the Max-Reger-Institute, Karlsruhe. Its design as a “hybrid” edition breaks new ground in the methods of editorial practice. It comprises three areas of Reger's compositional output: Organ works, Lieder and choruses and, for the first time, Max Reger's arrangements of works by other composers. To begin the series, the first seven volumes have been published and contain the organ works, which have been eagerly awaited by many.

Der Umgang sowohl mit den DVDs als auch dem Internet-Portal ist einfach und erschließt sich beim Nutzen - einfache Links führen von Ort zu Ort, von Thema zu Thema.

NMZ Nr. 5/2023, 72. Jahrgang
Um es kurz zu sagen: Genau wie die vorherigen Bände, von denen der Rezensent das Vergnügen hatte, an dieser Stelle drei zu besprechen, entspricht auch dieser letzte Band den höchsten Anforderungen an wissenschaftlicher Editionspraxis: Ausstattung und nicht zuletzt Lesbarkeit, was ja gerade bei den dichten Notensätzen Regers ein wichtiges Kriterium für den Praktiker ist. Zur sehr guten Editionspraxis gehört die beigefügte DVD, die zahlreiches Quellen- und Archivmaterial zu den Werken liefert...

Die Tranparenz und Übersichtlichkeit des Notentextes lassen keine Wünsche offen, nicht nur wissenschaftlich, sondern auch praktisch für den ausübenden Organisten.
