Max Reger quotes

Max Reger was a German composer, pianist, and organist, renowned for his complex and expressive works. His music bridges late Romanticism and early modernism, often noted for its dense counterpoint and emotional depth. He influenced generations of composers and remains a key figure in classical music. Here are 2 of his quotes:

This Reger is a sarcastic, churlish fellow, bitter and pedantic and rude. He is a sort of musical Cyclops, a strong, ugly creature bulging with knotty and unshapely muscles, an ogre of composition. In listening to these works...one is perforce reminded of the photograph of Reger which his publishers place on the cover of their catalogue of his works, the photograph that shows something that is like a swollen, myopic beetle with thick lips and sullen expression, crouching on an organ bench. (Max Reger)
I am sitting in the smallest room of my house. I have your review before me. In a moment it shall be behind me. View quote
