"Chorale preludesforthe organ, as simple and easy as possible, so that every country Organist can plag them - this is a good thing, and they are the most common Chorales!" (Max Reger, 1914) "The melody is presented distinctly and without any arabesques in the discant, middle voice or bass, the voice-leading of the other Parts provides an unconstrained harmonic interpretation of the Chorale in a subjective and yet generally valid mannen" (Guido Bagier an Reger’s Op. 135a, 1923)
