“Prelude and Fugue for the Left Hand” by Reger

Abstract

Max Reger stands out among the composers who addressed a particular genre of piano literature, enriching it with elegant and beautiful pieces. The composer is genuinely concerned with the valorization of technical and expressive resources of the left hand. In this respect, the Prelude and Fugue in E flat minor, a piece which reminds us that the piano is, in its way, a miniature orchestra, is also in the spirit of Bach, to whom Reger renders tribute throughout his work.
