Prelude Op.92 N.1 for Double Reed Quintet MP3

Double Reed Quintet Version: Incorporates two Oboes, an English Horn, and two Bassoons. It lasts around 3 minutes and 15 seconds. The music is a contemplative, volatile, and distressed prelude that inaugurates the Suite for Organ Op.92 (1905) crafted by Max Reger, a magnum opus of the late Romantic era. It foreshadows a multitude of trends characteristic to the Expressionism era: the fading of tonal sense, exasperating juxtapositions, and vast swathes of resonating timbral hues. Moreover, it is drenched in recollections and dispositions of the Baroque era, particularly those of Bach.
