Reger-Werkausgabe, Vol. II/3: Songs III (1901–1903)
The third volume in the Songs and Choral Works Series of the Reger Complete Works (RWA) contains the songs Max Reger composed (almost entirely in Munich) between 1901 and February 1903. With these compositions, Reger not only entered into direct competition with the so-called “Munich School” around Ludwig Thuille, Max von Schillings, and Richard Strauss, but also attempted to establish himself more widely as an uncompromising renewer of the genre. The songs contrast with the Romantic song aesthetic through their forward-looking declamatory style and they display a treatment of the piano which goes far beyond conventional song accompaniment.
In January 2008 the Max-Reger-Institut (MRI) in Karlsruhe began publishing a scholarly-critical edition of the works of Reger (RWA). This is supported by the Mainz Academy of Sciences and Literature, and as a Hybrid Edition is exploring new approaches in editorial techniques.
The digital offer belonging to the volume is published in an online portal.

Der Umgang sowohl mit den DVDs als auch dem Internet-Portal ist einfach und erschließt sich beim Nutzen - einfache Links führen von Ort zu Ort, von Thema zu Thema. Diese Simplizität und die vom Carus-Verlag höchst professionell umgesetzten Druckbände machen die Ausgabe zu einem wahren Kleinod, das man gern zur Hand nimmt.
