About the Composer

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.

Kritischer und editorischer Bericht beeindrucken durch Präzision, Nachvollziehbarkeit, Umfang und – auch das wird man erwähnen dürfen – Opulenz, was nämlich die reichhaltige Ausstattung mit Faksimile-Abbildungen und deren kommentierten Übertragungen angeht. Auf mehr als 300 Seiten bleiben hier keine Frage unbeantwortet und kein Wunsch unerfüllt. Die gesamte Edition bietet somit nicht nur den bestmöglichen erreichbaren Text des Werks, sondern ist zugleich auch das Dokument einer Kooperation und Arbeitsleistung zweier Brahms-Gelehrter, vor der man nur den Hut ziehen kann.
Musikforschung, 2023… this edition quite simply establishes new standards for detail, accuracy and scholarly interpretation of the work – two senior Brahms scholars pooling their collective wisdom and understanding over many years, without rushing, to create an edition worthy of the music it expresses. It is surely no overstatement to describe this volume as a treasure in recent Brahms scholarship.
