About the piece

Six waltzes from Reger's early years, showing the influence of Brahms, whom he revered and to whom he had written asking permission to dedicate a work. Brahms replied granting it and adding a remark Reger treasured for the rest of his life, that he had not thought it necessary to ask, since he was clearly dealing with someone who did not need to request permission.
