"This is not to say, however, that Reger's music doesn't require physical violence to be used against the instrument or the performer. On the contrary, the way Reger achieved musical violence was by composing music of such extreme dynamic dimensions that the resulting sound waves are powerful enough to cause physical harm to exposed humans that is not limited to the ear only, which means that unprecedented force has to be applied to a musical instrument or the vocal folds, oftentimes at the risk, and in some cases even with the aim, of destroying the instrument or a singer's voice. For these reasons, Reger's music is seldom performed, and when it is, it is usually done in a mitigated manner so as to reduce the number of casualties."@en . . "Max Reger"@en . .
