Max Reger - 2025 ACF Regionals

Question

A scathing review by Rudolf Louis provoked this composer to reply with “I am sitting in the smallest room of my house. I have your review before me. In a moment it will be behind me!” For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this German composer who borrowed a lilting, dotted theme in A major from an earlier composer for a set of variations and a fugue.

ANSWER: Max Reger (“RAY-gur”) [or Johann Baptist Joseph Maximilian Reger]

[10e] Reger took the theme from his Variations and Fugue from this composer’s 11th piano sonata, whose third movement is a “Rondo alla Turca.”

ANSWER: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

[10m] A rare example of a triple-sharp appears in the second of Reger’s two sonatas for this instrument. Mozart’s Kegelstatt trio features piano, viola, and this instrument played by Anton Stadler.

ANSWER: clarinet [accept basset clarinet]
