Some of his composing contemporaries looked not at all benevolently at Reger; but it wasn't easy for him, either, at a time that witnessed both the final outbursts of romantic exaggeration and revolutionary innovations. Reger's affinity to complex counterpoint structures and old musical forms made him suspicious in the eyes of his progressive colleagues, whereas his rather liberal approach to tonality tended to antagonize the conservative faction. His cycles of variations for orchestra, which he also adapted for two pianos, are still among his best-known (and most popular) works. The theme of the Sonata in A major KV 331 is the starting point for the Mozart variations op. 132 (1914), in which Reger (more or less in passing) proves his counterpoint mastery in an exemplary manner, similar to the way shown in his Beethoven variations of 1904. And Grau and Schumacher also let Mozart and Beethoven get a fugue in edgewise: first Mozart's Fugue in C minor, still rooted in the baroque prototype, then Beethoven's Great fugue, combining all the tricks of the counterpoint trade with maximum individualistic expressive force. Grau and Schumacher: the personification of pianistic and chamber-music unity.

Recommendation
Schubert and Ligeti? What appears at first sight to be a rather unusual constellation proves to be an essential combination on closer scrutiny. 
A few short waltzes: Andreas Grau and Götz Schumacher are waltzing their way through the centuries – from Schubert to Wolfgang Rihm. 
Probably the most beautiful Bach music has been written by György Kurtág: Bach transcriptions of a gentle, enraptured and extremely sensual quality.
