Max Reger fühlte sich nicht nur als neuer Bach, sondern wurde von seinen Zeitgenossen auch als solcher angesehen. Tatsächlich war Bach Regers Bezugspunkt in all seinen künstlerischen Äußerungsformen: als Komponist, der Bach''sche Formen - Fugen, Motetten, Choralvorspiele - aufgriff; als Interpret, der Bach immer wieder auf seine Programme setzte; als Bearbeiter, der sich mehr als jeder andere Komponist mit seinem Übervater auseinandersetzte. So hat Reger insgesamt etwa 150 Werke Bachs bearbeitet, um Bach populärer zu machen, aber auch, um sich kompositorisch an seinen Werken weiter zu bilden. Die hier in fünf Heften vorgelegten 15 Bearbeitungen Bach'scher Klavierwerke entstanden 1902/1903 und erschienen im gleichen Zeitraum im Verlag Joseph Aibl (München). Mit ihnen verfolgte Reger das Ziel, das Repertoire des Organisten um weitere authentische Bachsche Kompositionen zu bereichern. (Otto Depenheuer) Die vorliegende Ausgabe bietet den Notentext im Reprint der erwähnten Erstausgabe.

Used as a place of worship for centuries, first by Christians and then by Muslims (from 1453), the Hagia Sophia (Istanbul) still amazes people from all over the world. Since 1934, it is a museum but more than that, the Hagia Sophia, a unique architectural work of monumental proportions in Christian Antiquity and the Middle Ages, is described as a mystical place. Monumental, yet mysterious, a 'miracle of space', a symbol, a sign. 'Sophia', the holy wisdom, accompanies us through the whole Bible history. The line and sound of Hagia Sophia are based on a symmetrical eight-note row (mode B) with the notes B, C sharp, D, E/F, G, A flat (G sharp), B flat (A sharp). Although the major-minor relations are removed, harmonic connections (colours) emerge nevertheless.

Catholic and Protestant churches are familiar with the tradition that in times of crisis, new works are composed to comfort the faithful, and are performed in worship. Following in this tradition, the project Orgelmusik in Zeiten von Corona (Organ Music in Times of Corona) was devised. 17 new compositions were commissioned which reflect Corona times, creatively confront the past and the present, and will enrich the repertoire of organ music in a lasting way.
The 17 compositions depict a wide range of styles including avant-garde, jazz and classical, and some refer to music from previous eras and church music traditions. They are conceived for different levels of difficulty, are for 2 or 3-manual organs, and last between four and ten minutes. They are particularly suitable for concerts, but can also be played in church services.
* 17 thematic reflections on the Corona pandemic: on the horsemen of the apocalypse, the Coeur bleu, the thunder of time, timelines, trust and confidence, and many more
* compositions by Timo Bocking, Kathrin A. Denner, Barbara Dennerlein, Dorothee Hahne, Peter Michael Hamel, Frank Heckel, Dorothea Hofmann, Nicole Johanntgen, Anna Korsun, Roland Kunz, Eckhart Kuper, Johannes M. Michel, Iris Rieg, Maximilian Schnaus, Enjott Schneider, Dominik Susteck, and Maximilian Wallrath
* stylistic variety and breadth - from classically-influenced compositions, through jazz and pop, to avant-garde and experimental sounds
* different levels of difficulty, for 2 or 3-manual organ, 4 to 10 minutes' duration
* suitable for concerts and church services.

The Anhang of Köchel’s catalogue is full of pieces that for more than a century after his death were thought to be his work; the Müller sonata, a very effective piece on both fortepiano and clavichord, is still suspected of containing some elements of original Mozart in it, and deserves to be rescued from oblivion in this Mozart anniversary year.
