Technology that brings music history to life

The reproduction piano from Welte is one of the most fascinating chapters in early music recording. In the museum, this is not a dry demonstration but an immediate concert experience: mechanical precision meets the expressive language of two composers who shaped central sound worlds around 1900. Max Reger is regarded as a master of dense contrapuntal techniques and baroque forms wrapped in late romantic clothing; Enrique Granados represents a poetic, national-influenced piano art full of color and melancholy.

Reger and Granados in Dialogue

Max Reger was born in 1873 and is known primarily for his organ works and the combination of historical forms with a highly romantic musical language. Enrique Granados, born in Lérida in 1867, shaped a unique lyrical signature with his Spanish-national piano works and the famous series of Danzas españolas. In interplay, this morning unfolds an appealing tension between German structure and Spanish colorfulness. ([britannica.com](https://www.britannica.com/biography/Max-Reger?utm_source=openai))
