Johannes Brahms

His significant output comprises chamber music, piano works, numerous choral compositions and songs (including settings of folk-song lyrics), as well as large-scale orchestral works in the 1870s and 1880s. His compositions are characterized by the process of developing variation. He is considered an antithesis to the New German School around Liszt, and an advocate of “absolute” music.

Of all the volumes reviewed here, this is the only one which comes within shooting distance of the Holy Grail for facsimiles: photographic clarity. Readers can easily sustain the illusion that they are holding Brahms's actual score, a feat that earns further laurels for its publisher, already one of the leading producers of facsimile editions on the international marketplace.

Notes, 2004

Die Faksimile-Ausgabe ist vorbildlich ausgestattet. Der Verlag hat alle Mühe darauf verwandt, dass die Farbe des Papiers wie auch der Schrift des Autographs und der nachträglichen Einträge des Komponisten täuschend ähnlich nachgebildet wurden.
