The Brahms Sonata is a staple 
  of the clarinet repertoire, and is joined on this disc by a natural successor, 
  Reger's heavily Brahms-inspired work. Both are late works in each composer's 
  output, the Brahms representing a culmination and distillation of his mature 
  style, while Reger lights the way forward to Webern and post-modernism.
