The fifth volume in the series of organ works includes, in chronological order, the organ pieces Max Reger composed in autumn 1892 in Weiden and Wiesbaden, and those composed between January 1900 and April 1902 in Weiden and Munich. The works presented in Vols. I/5-7 are, except for the works without opus numbers, collections of character pieces, not composed as cycles, but nevertheless arranged systematically. They mainly combine Reger’s compositions of medium difficulty, written both as a response to his large-scale works, but also with an eye to the market for printed music.

Since January 2008, the first scholarly, critical edition of the works of Max Reger (RWA) is being produced at the Max-Reger-Institute, Karlsruhe. Its design as a "hybrid" edition breaks new ground in the methods of editorial practice. It comprises three areas of Reger's compositional output: Organ works, Lieder and choruses and, for the first time, Max Reger's arrangements of works by other composers. To begin the series, the first seven volumes have been published and contain the organ works, which have been eagerly awaited by many.
