    Max Reger’s Adaptations of Bach Keyboard Works for the Organ Wyatt Smith A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Carole Terry, Chair Jonathan Bernard Craig Sheppard Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Music ©Copyright 2019 Wyatt Smith ii University of Washington Abstract Max Reger’s Adaptations of Bach Keyboard Works for the Organ Wyatt Smith Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Carole Terry School of Music The history and performance of transcriptions of works by other composers is vast, largely stemming from the Romantic period and forward, though there are examples of such practices in earlier musical periods. In particular, the music of Johann Sebastian Bach found its way to prominence through composers’ pens during the Romantic era, often in the form of transcriptions for solo piano recitals. One major figure in this regard is the German Romantic composer and organist Max Reger. Around the turn of the twentieth century, Reger produced many adaptations of works by Bach, including organ works for solo piano and four-hand piano, and keyboard works for solo organ, of which there are fifteen primary adaptations for the organ. It is in these adaptations that Reger explored different ways in which to take these solo keyboard works and apply them idiomatically to the organ in varying degrees, ranging from simple transcriptions to heavily orchestrated arrangements. This dissertation will compare each of these adaptations to the original Bach work and analyze the changes made by Reger. It also seeks to fill a void in the literature on this subject, which often favors other areas of Reger’s transcription and arrangement output, primarily those for the piano.

Psalm op. 106 (vollendet am 22. Juni 1909) waren Die Nonnen op. 112 (vollendet am 7. August 1909, Text von Martin Boelitz) das dritte großangelegte chorsymphonische Werk Max Regers, denen dann noch Die Weihe der Nacht op. 119 (1911, Text von Friedrich Hebbel), ein unvollendet gebliebenes lateinisches Requiem (1914) sowie die beiden hier erstmals in einer gemeinsamen Studienpartitur vorgelegten Werke op. 144, Der Einsiedler op. 144a und das Requiem op. 144b ‘Seele, vergiß sie nicht’, folgten. Laut Auskunft seiner Frau Elsa hatte Max Reger schon 1909 vor dem drohenden "Weltenbrand" gewarnt. Als der Erste Weltkrieg ausbrach, erwies er sich als vehementer Patriot, ersuchte sofort um Einberufung und wurde am 18. August 1914 zu seiner Verbitterung als "total untauglich nach Hause geschickt". Also leistete er seinen Tribut in Form der "dem deutschen Heere" gewidmeten Vaterländischen Ouvertüre op. 140. Am 14. Oktober 1914 schrieb Max Reger an seinen Schüler Hermann Grabner (1886-1969): "Hoffentlich bilden Sie recht viele brave Soldaten für diesen, für unsere Gegner so schmachvollen Krieg aus. Es ist unerhört, mit welcher Niederträchtigkeit und Gemeinheit dieser Krieg von England herbeigeführt und seit langer Zeit vorbereitet worden ist! — Ich arbeite an einem 'Requiem' für Soli, Chor, Orchester und Orgel 'Dem Andenken der in diesem Kriege gefallenen Helden gewidmet!'"

    CoverBV450_Layout 1 13.11.15 15:02 Seite 1 Susanne Popp Susanne Popp MAX REGER MAX REGER WERK STATT LEBEN Max Reger gehört zweifellos zu jenen Komponisten, die es weder ihrer unmittelbaren Um- WERK STATT LEBEN gebung noch den Nachgeborenen leicht gemacht haben. In seiner Existenz scheinen Leben und Werk auf besonders widersprüchliche, aber auch folgerichtige Weise miteinander ver- Biographie knüpft. Die selbstauferlegte Verpflichtung, das Geschenk eines großen Talents durch rastlose Leseprobe künstlerische Arbeit stets aufs Neue zu rechtfertigen, traf auf eine unabhängige, kompro- misslose Daseinseinstellung und zugleich auf ein Bestreben, die Unbilden der Realität durch die Flucht in die Kunst sogleich wieder hinter sich zu lassen: „Wer wissen will, was ich will, wer ich bin – der soll sich das ansehen, was ich [...] geschrieben habe – wird er nicht klug daraus, versteht er’s nicht, so ist’s nicht meine Schuld!“ Seinen Zeitgenossen erschien Reger als eine Person der Extreme, schwankend zwischen Selbstgewissheit und Selbstzweifel, was seine Kunst betraf, zwischen ätzender Angriffslust WERK STATT LEBEN und bedingungsloser Loyalität, wenn es um Kollegen und Mitmenschen sowie um die Gestaltung seines Lebens ging. Sein unruhiger, hartnäckiger, maßloser, krisenanfälliger und am Ende selbstzerstörerischer Charakter wirkt regelrecht in die Strukturen und Stimmungen seiner Musik hinein, in ihre kämpferischen Offensiven und gewaltsamen Apotheosen. In diesem Sinne war Reger ein Neuerer der Form und des Ausdrucks, der sich nichtsdesto- weniger mit dem soliden Handwerk seiner musikalischen Ahnen gewappnet hatte. Werk statt Leben? Die vorliegende Biographie verzichtet auf psychologisierende Kombina- torik, breitet jedoch vor dem Leser unzählige Dokumente eines Lebens aus, das sowohl zeit- typisch wie individuell einzigartig war.
