Welcome to Hal Leonard!
The Trio G major / E minor op. 103 by the Oppenheim composer and student Max Reger can be assigned to the composer's late work based on the opus number, even if no year of composition or premiere can be determined. The work for the unusual instrumentation of clarinet, horn and piano presented the editor Wolfgang Birtel with the challenge of developing an authentic musical text from the original manuscript, which was riddled with careless errors. Since no other sources for this work are available, the practical exchange with the Else Ensemble was a great benefit for Birtel. The current edition of this trio makes another attractive chamber music work by this late-romantic composer accessible.

“Yet you, a man, have sensed in these songs a depth which hardly the most knowing female heart can feel!” Thus an admirer wrote to Robert Schumann concerning his song cycle Frauenliebe und Leben. Schumann's empathy with the highly romantic inflections of Adelbert von Chamisso's poetry may also have arisen from the circumstances that prompted this cycle, for it was written during one of the happiest periods of his life, just before his marriage to Clara Wieck. Ever since its initial publication Frauenliebe und Leben has been immensely popular with male and female singers alike.
To extend this circle even further, we offer this Schumann cycle in two transpositions – for high and low voice – in addition to theoriginal middle register.
