Romance in G Major, WoO II/10, for Clarinet in Bb or A and Piano

Max Reger (1873-1916): Romanze für Violine und Klavier G-dur, ausgabe für Klarinette und Klavier = Romance para violín y piano en sol mayor en versión para clarinete y piano.

Born in the village of Brand in the Upper Palatinate, Max Reger was taught by the renowned music theoretician Hugo Riemann. After finishing his studies and working as a freelance performer and composer in Wiesbaden, he moved to Weiden, beset by personal crises, and eventually to Munich. To make himself better known in the musical scene, he had some of his smaller works inserted in the magazine Neue Musikzeitung. This is how his Romanze G-Dur for violin and piano was published in November 1901, a beautiful occasional work, ideal for music lessons or as a tranquil encore after a concert also in an arrangement for clarinet and piano.

Arranged by Wolfgang Birtel.
