Johann and Max
Pipedreams 2016-03-22
Summary:
With Max Reger's birthday on March 19 and J.S. Bach's on March 21, Pipedreams looks at both composers' works for the organ. Both figures, though their births were separated by nearly 200 years, were masters of the fugue, as well as toccatas and chorale settings, which will be heard on a variety of instruments.
