Hmmm - isn't this what we call "prejudice" Chris?

I'm not especially familiar with Reger's organ music - and I suspect that
poor organists have a lot to do with Reger's reputation for being dull -
but the string quartets are gorgeous; the clarinet quintet is worthy of
mention in the same breath as Mozart, Weber and Brahms; the trios for flute
violin and viola are magical; the sonatas for solo violin and solo cello
are worthy successors to Bach's.

So - why are you suspicious of *me*?
