Book synopsis

Max Reger s music is not widely known and performed. §His music is often thought of as dense, highly §chromatic, and hard to digest. The Telemann §Variations offer a different view of this highly §prolific composer, who was regarded as the most §important composer next to Richard Strauss in early §twentieth-century Germany. The theme, a minuet in §binary form, is taken from Telemann s Tafelmusik in B-flat Major. The variations exhibit a transparent §texture, regular phrases, and formal balance. There §is a fair amount of literature about the life and §music of Reger. However, the Telemann Variations §themselves have not been the subject of many§scholarly writings. This document examines Reger s§performance style at the piano based on newspaper§reviews, witness reports, and letters describing his§pianism. It also provides a general introduction to§the Telemann Variations, a musical analysis of each §variation, and a new edition. The appendices §include a list of Reger s personal piano performance §repertoire, piano compositions, and piano roll §recordings.
