    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.

  • Reger on the Web
    28 reger on the web It is quite interesting to browse the internet regarding information on Max Reger, though it must be said that very few websites give really substantial accounts. Any account, however, can help retaining Reger under consideration. Several CD labels, concert organisers (http://www.chorkonzerte.de/ – Erlöserkirche München, http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/ Strasse/1945/WSB/reger.html – Washington Sängerbund, http://www.konzerte-weiden.de/ – Förderkreis für Kammermusik Weiden or http://www.max-reger-tage.de – Max-Reger-Tage Weiden) or music publishers (e.g. C. F.

Links to commercial aspects of Reger – CDs, books, sheet music etc. can be found on http://www.mala.bc.ca/~mcneil/ reger.htm.

Am 11. Mai 1916 starb er im Alter von gerade einmal 43 Jahren. Wer war dieser Komponist, der in seiner kurzen Lebenszeit weit über 1.000 Werke für nahezu alle Gaungen komponiert hat (er nannte sich scherzha „Akkordarbeiter“) und der heute hauptsächlich für seine großen Orgelwerke bekannt ist? Max Reger wurde 1873 in Weiden in der Oberpfalz geboren. Er studierte beim damali- gen „Papst der Musiktheorie“ Hugo Riemann in Sondershausen und Wiesbaden.
