Title: Petar Stojanović

Ilya's point makes me want to compare other (unsung) Reger-influenced composers, like Petar Stojanović, say (who as near as I can tell may be unrecorded, so far as instrumental music is concerned. Ah, no, there -is- a video of a 1980-issued (but pre-1976, given the death date of the violinist) recording of his violin concerto #5 in D, Op.78 (1944) - which I guess unsurprisingly sounds rather more Romantic compared to the appearance of his very chromatic chamber music of 30-40 years earlier that's been uploaded...)

Edit: his piano quintet Op.9 is actually on YouTube too, so I suppose comparison is possible there (assuming he's as Regerian to the ear as to the eye)...

Biography:

Brief observation: the Piano Quintet being early-ish (1909) sounds much more conventionally late-romantic than Senfter. Not sure I like the Violin & Piano Concerto very much, but the Violin Concerto is more to my taste.

And might this be the 1st Violin Concerto?

...and this two movements of Violin Concerto No.2?

Or do these three movements belong together?

Thank you Eric, and thanks for all these links, Alan. These will take sometime to follow-up, and hopefully it'll be an enjoyable journey!
