These late works for solo strings, the last of which only appeared posthumously, were previously only known from their first prints. The Preludes and Fugues op. 131a for violin were written in the spring of 1914 during Reger’s convalescent stay in Merano.

The Magnificat RV 160 has come down to us in two versions. The first version is dominated by the choral concept.
