Like What a String Quartet by Wagner May Sound...

".
Schillings (1868-1933) was practically a cariacture of the archtypical anti-semitic German nationalist. He was in the Wagner clique, and this music resembles what we might hear if Wagner had written a string quartet: hence, it's pretty good! It's late-Romanticist, highly chromatic, yet not pantonal. At times it veers into Reger territory, but overall it's not as bumptious as Reger.
Nice Art Nouveau music from the Belle Epoque.
Doubleplus bonus subtly erotic Art Nouveau cover (1898) by the quintessential Art Nouveau designer, Alfons Mucha--superb!
