5 Humoresques for Piano, Op. 20: By Reger

5 Humoresques for Piano Op. 20 (Piano Solo). By Max Reger (1873-1916). Edited by Egon Voss. For piano solo. Piano (Harpsichord), 2-hands. Henle Music Folios. Pages: IV and 20. Softcover. 24 pages. G. Henle #HN613. Published by G. Henle.

Regers “Five Humoresques” follow in the footsteps of the nineteenth-century genre inaugurated by Robert Schumanns “Humoresque,” op. 20. Occasionally Reger gives vent to high-spirited good humor, as when he quotes a hit tune from his own day, “Du bist verräckt mein Kind” (“Youre crazy, my child”). The piano writing is imaginative, brilliantly pianistic, and harmonically rich. Our volume forms yet another addition to our series of Regers piano music.
