RegerÆs ôFive Humoresquesô follow in the footsteps of the nineteenth-century genre inaugurated by Robert SchumannÆs ôHumoresqueô, op. 20. Occasionally Reger gives vent to high-spirited good humor, as when he quotes a hit tune from his own day, ôDu bist verr¾ckt mein Kindô (ôYouÆre crazy, my childö). The piano writing is imaginative, brilliantly pianistic, and harmonically rich. Our volume forms yet another addition to our series of RegerÆs piano music.
