Info for Reger: Hiller-Variationen (Remastered)

Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Hiller, Op. 100, is a set of variations for orchestra written by the German composer Max Reger in 1907 after he had preconceived the idea by May 1904. They are based on an original melodic line by the 18th-century composer Johann Adam Hiller. Fritz Steinbach conducted the premiere in Cologne, Germany on 15 October 1907. Along with the composer's Mozart Variations, the Hiller Variations are one of his most popular and frequently recorded works.

Reger was occupied with the Hiller variations at a fairly tumultuous period of his life. His Sinfonietta in A major, Op. 90, was met with open rejection in Munich, so he postponed the project of the Hiller Variations and initially composed the Serenade in G major, Op. 95, to calm people's minds. He only resumed work on the Hiller Variations after his appointment as university music director and university professor in Leipzig had been confirmed.
