This edition of Brahms’s Piano Quintet in F minor op. 34 is a typical example of a careful modern “Urtext” edtion in which all the available sources have been analysed and their significance in the process of composition determined. Careful detective work has shed light on the composer’s involvement in the correction of proofs, and a number of unwarranted additions and alterations that occurred in early twentieth-century editions have been rectified.

Nineteenth-Century, 2006

This Henle edition replaces the previous Urtext edition issued in 1971. It contains a preface with historical background notes as well as a detailed description and evaluation of the manuscript sources and early printings. In the Critical Comments readers will also find an exhaustive account of Brahms’ own many changes in the compositional process.

Stringendo, 2003

Henle heeft een zeer overzichtelijke en opnieuw gereviseerde Urtext-uitgave verzorgd: de afzonderlijke partijen zijn ruimtelijk goed ingedeeld en de pianist kann de vier strijkers makkelijk volgen vanuit zijn eigen pianopartituur. Een uitdaging voor iedere liefhebber van kamermuziek en voor de liefhebbers van Brahms in het bijzonder.
