Joseph Moog - piano
Jongen's Etude of 1920 and Deux pieces for Piano op.33 of 1908 are wonderful, substantial works totaling over 16 minutes. Debussy is an influence but Jongen no more of a cheap imitator than Seurat is of Monet. All three are colorful, exquisite, and not miniature in scope.
Reger's "Fireside Dreams" have the charm his corpus otherwise lacks. As Amazon's rip off does not include notes, I would refer the avid reader to Fanfare magazine issue 34.3 Jan/Feb 2011 and a rave review by Boyd Pomeroy for additional detail and guidance. I agree with him (one of that inconsistent publication's most reliable and astute reviewers) that these Reger character pieces are descendants of Brahms and Chopin, but I would throw in Schumann as well, having some of the innocence and atmosphere of Kinderszenen and Waldszenen, and the exploratory harmony of the late op 133 Gesange der Fruhe.
