It is little known that alongside his three great sonatas for clarinet and piano, Reger also wrote two charming miniatures for the same instrumentation. At the same time, it was the composerŒÍs express desire to reach a wider public with smaller works such as these that were to be published in music journals. Our single edition (taken from the volume of all of RegerŒÍs sonatas and pieces HN 909, also edited by Michael Kube) meets this wish today: its effervescent Tarantella and the Albumblatt that is full of nuances provide clarinettists and pianists with an easy introduction to Max RegerŒÍs magical world of sound.
