Fantasia and Fugue on B-A-C-H, Op. 46, Op. 46
by Max Reger
OrganRomanticFantasia and Fugue~22 minprofessional
Reger's monumental organ work built on the four-note BACH motif (B-flat, A, C, B-natural). The improvisatory fantasia unfolds in cascading chromatic waves before the massive double fugue brings the work to a thunderous conclusion. One of the most technically and harmonically demanding works in the organ repertoire.
