For two decades, beginning in the early 1870s, Robert Keller, music
editor for N. Simrock Verlag in Berlin, worked with diligence and
devotion to usher into print most of Johannes Brahms's major
compositions, including all four of his symphonies, the Violin
Concerto, the Double Concerto, the Second Piano Concerto, and
numerous chamber, choral, and vocal works.
This volume collects for the first time the complete extant
correspondence between Brahms and Keller, as preserved in the
collections of the Library of Congress and the Gesellschaft der
Musikfreunde in Vienna. To read their correspondence is to witness
a relationship of mutual respect and increasing friendship and to
gain an appreciation for the meticulous labor that went into the
publication of Brahms's masterpieces. Keller's admiration for the
composer's genius was answered by Brahms's affection for Keller's
diligence and musical expertise. The vicissitudes of the
publication process from composer's manuscript to printed score are
documented in fascinating detail.
This edition includes a transcription of the letters in the
original German.
