Reger: 3 Suites for Viola Solo

Reger: 3 Suites for Viola Solo

Max Reger (1873–1916) is noted for his devotion to Johann Sebastian Bach. In the words of musicologist Massimo Mila, Reger was an “outstanding crafter of chamber music, who loved restoring ancient contrapuntal forms: fugues, passacaglias, chaconnes, suites, etc.” His 3 Suites for Viola Solo Op.131d – completed a year before his death – exemplify this contrapuntal restoration and reinvention. They belong to a collection of works with an ancient feel in the style of Bach (Op.131), which also comprises music for solo violin, for two violins and for cello. The three solo viola suites all emphasise the polyphonic nature of an instrument that to this day is still considered monodic.

Composer: Max Reger, Henry Vieuxtemps, Krzysztof Penderecki, Benjamin Britten & Igor Stravinsky.
Artists: Luca Sanzò (viola)

The three suites all emphasize the polyphonic nature of an instrument that has always (and still today) been considered monodic. Bach's inspiration is evident from the very first notes, and continues in the contrapuntal alternation of several voices, both in a vertical sense, thus of chordal writing, and in a horizontal sense, thus of exchange of voices, lucidly exploiting the difference in timbres, between high and low, using the unique timbre of the viola. Inevitably a child of his time, Reger, too, experienced the human dissent of late Romanticism, and the melancholic, warm but also pungent timbre of the viola reflects this introspection.
