These are HOWARD POSNER'S OWN words about Reger:
Nice to see my name in bigger type than Reger's.
"Nonetheless, this is the only famous thing Reger ever wrote, far outstripping any of his music. It even conveyed a bit of immortality on Rudolf Louis, the critic, without actually disputing anything he said. Quick show of hands: can anyone remember ever hearing Reger's Sinfonietta, which was the work Louis had panned? Let's not all speak up at once... "
If it's nasty to say 1) Reger's bowel movement remark is more famous than any of his music, 2) Reger didn't dispute anything Louis said, and 3) the Sinfonietta is pretty much unknown, so be it.
Sorry, we've gotten way OT. It's long past time to end this digression. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
