About the piece

Seven character pieces from Reger's earlier output, working in the German Romantic tradition he had inherited while already pushing its harmonic boundaries. He was a formidable pianist and organist as well as a composer, and died suddenly of a heart attack at forty three, in a hotel room, with the proofs of his latest work beside him.
