WILLIAM E. GRIM is Visiting Professor of Music at Howard Payne University.
?Professor Grim's bio-bibliography is the first publication in
English to bring together the considerable amount of scholarship
that has been devoted to Reger's life and work and to his role in
the transition from late romanticism to modernism. . . . The
revival of critical interest in romantic and late romantic
composers make this bibliography especially timely.?-The
Violexchange
?Reger (1973-1916) is regarded in Germany as a major composer whose
works exercised considerable influence on 20th-century musical
developments, but in other countries (including the US) he is
generally dismissed as a composer of contrapuntal works of
bewildering complexity. Grim's bio-bibliography is welcomed as an
important addition to the small body of Reger literature in
English. . . it does contain an international listing of nearly
1,900 books, dissertations, articles, and reviews. Furthermore,
Grim provides annotations, while Max-Reger-Bibliographie lists only
citations. Grim also includes a lengthy, although not quite
complete, discography (Jorge Bolet's London recording of the
Telemann Variations and Wolfgang Anheisser's Electrola disc of
Schlichte Weisen excerpts are unaccountably missing) and a
biographical essay that succinctly assesses Reger's achievement and
historical position. Grim's biobibliography should stimulate
interest in the examination, performance, and reassessment of
Reger's works on the part of English-speaking musicians and
musicologists.?-Choice
