Max Reger - Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Mozart Op.132 (with score)

[@AnttiKujari]

The eighth variation is one of the most beautiful moments in Reger’s entire output, and perhaps the entire late-romantic orchestral repertoire. If only more people knew of his works…

[@Xxxxxxx-i7o]

Agree. Great music.

[@mrtchaikovsky]

It is possible to analyse the work as a two-movement symphonic fantasy: First movement: In sonata form 00:16 Theme, Var. I: Exposition (The first variation is in A major and the theme itself is not varied) 05:41 Var. II-V: Development (The main key of A major is abandoned and the theme slowly dissolves) 11:32 Var. VI-VII: Recapitulation (The main theme can again be clearly recognised) 17:12 Var. VIII: Coda Second movement: A double-fugue 24:15 Theme I 30:39 Theme II 31:37 Both themes together 32:39 Both themes together with the main theme

[@markus1323]

Also as a three-movement sonata form (Ehrenfordt did so ...)

Those last two movements are so exciting, the way Mozart meets Wagner in in the last molto sostenuto variation and the titanic last pages of the fuge. Stunning.

best fugue in a symphony ever

[@Lircking]

THAT ENDING THOUGH

[@Listenerandlearner870]

A very fine interpretation.

That’s awesome! I love this. For more score recommendations even though some might be underrated, would be really cool! Even though you may not do some, it would at least be really cool. *Cello Pieces* 1. Cello Symphony: _Benjamin Britten_ 2. Cello Concerto-Rhapsody in D Minor: _Aram Khachaturian_ 3. Cello Concerto in E Minor: _Aram Khachaturian_ 3. Capriccio for solo Cello: _Zoltán Kodály_ 4. Cello Concerto: _William Walton_ 5.Variations on a Paganini Theme: _Hans Bottermund/János Starker_ 6. Paganini Variations: _Gregor Piatigorsky_ *Others* 1. Simple Symphony: _Benjamin Britten_ 2. Preludes and Fugues for Solo Violin: _Max Reger_ 3. Carmen Fantasy: _Frank Waxman_ 4. 3 Viola Suites: _Max Reger_ *i’ll make more recommendations in the future, but hopefully some ideas help* Thank you!
