Hmmm, what's this Reicha?
I know of a 'Solo in e' for Horn and Piano, an Introduction and Rondo for Horn and Orchestra (which I have), and 'Two Solos' for Horn and Orchestra.

[Alan Howe]

I'm just relating the details on the back cover of the CD...

It'd be handy to have a complete and reliable catalogue of Reicha's works.

[Gareth Vaughan]

Hmm. G major / e minor - same key signature. Someone might just have got confused. Hiller's first piano concerto appears in works of reference as being variously in F minor or A flat major - it's the same sort of thing (errorwise, I mean).

[Alan Howe]

Does anyone know of a better works list than this?>>

Has/did Drummond ever release his work in the form of a book or large article?...

[Alan Howe]

Who he?

[Gareth Vaughan]

I think Eric might be referring to this: http://www.classical.net/music/comp.lst/articles/reicha/bio.php

[Alan Howe]

Undoubtedly: I too found that article by Drummond. But we need a full and reliable listing...

[Mark Thomas]

It's obviously a taxing job because, as Drummond mentions, many earlier works were published with late opus numbers. Speaking as one with recent cataloguing experience, it's not a prospect I'd relish.

[Alan Howe]

One for an expert researcher, no doubt.

[eschiss1]

That's not what I was referring to, actually; I was under the impression that Drummond spent years studying Reicha's music from a musicological and cataloguing POV, but was wondering out loud if the results of his researches ended up in something book-sized or something...

[Gareth Vaughan]

It would be good of it did, but I am not aware of anything substantial having been published.

[Wheesht]

There is this:
Antonin Rejcha: tematický katalog by Olga Šotlova, published by Supraphon in Prague in 1977. At 254 pages it seems pretty substantial, but is all in Czech.

[eschiss1]

All the Wikipedia article really mentions aside from what we have, Drummond-wise, is Drummond's prefaces to Merton's editions of Reicha's string quartets. (Which leaves the question whether anyone has access to one of them and whether they contain useful information.)
