Max Reger (1873-1916), German composer, pianist, organist, conductor, and teacher. Born Johann Baptist Joseph Maximilian Reger in Brand, Bavaria, he studied with his father and with the noted music scholar Hugo Riemann. He taught at the Wiesbaden and Leipzig conservatories, the Munich Academy of Music, and the University of Leipzig and was conductor of the Meiningen court orchestra. Reger's works are noted for their craftmanship, particularly in the use of strict musical forms, such as the fugue, and for their late romantic disregard of conventional harmonic limitations. Among his more important works are Fantasie and Fugue in C Minor, op. 29, and Fantasie and Fugue on B-A-C-H, op. 46, both for organ.
