The term ‘historicist modernism’ refers to the way Reger – distinctively among his contemporaries in the years around 1900 – forges a contemporary musical language from a distinctive engagement with the music of the past, especially the works of Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Johannes Brahms. In this essay, I will focus especially on two major works of Reger, the Variations and Fugue on a heme of Bach, op. 81, and the Variations and a Fugue on a Theme of Beethoven, op. 86, both from 1904.
