Description

I consider him a genius; remarked Arnold Schoenberg of the progressive early modernist Max Reger (1873ndash;1916). In addition to his international renown as a teacher; conductor; and pianist; Reger wrote more than 1;000 works in virtually every musical genre. Many scholars and musicians credit him with emancipating dissonance to a level that assisted Schoenbergs development of serialism in the 1920s. Regers influence extends to other 20th-century composers; including Beacute;la Baacute;rtok; Alban Berg; Arthur Honegger; Paul Hindemith; and Sergei Prokofiev.Modulation mdash; the change from one key to another mdash; is a subject of critical importance to performers and composers in their study of harmony. Reger wrote this concise guide to modulation while teaching composition at Leipzig Conservatory; and the work continues to provide valuable insights and instruction for musicians at all levels. This new edition features newly engraved musical examples.
