Hermann Deiters (1833 1907) first met Brahms in 1856, and became an
enthusiastic supporter of his work. This 'biographical sketch' was
published in English in 1888, edited by J. A. Fuller Maitland, the
English musicologist whose Schumann in the Novello 'Great
Musicians' series and Masters of German Music are also reissued in
this series. Brahms was still alive and composing at this time: the
book consists of a short account of his life followed by a critical
review of all his works up to 1887. The preface states: 'That
Johannes Brahms is by far the greatest composer of our time ...
will not be contested by any musician whose claim to an opinion is
based on an exhaustive knowledge of his works. ... Brahms has a
place in the line of supreme masters in the craft of music, that
line which stretches down without interruption through Palestrina,
from a far earlier time.'
This authoritative biography of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)
was a landmark in its meticulous research and use of source
material. For the American author Alexander Wheelock Thayer
(1817-97), it represented a lifelong labour of love, yet it
remained unfinished at his death. His friend Hermann Deiters
(1833-1907) edited and translated Thayer's work into German,
publishing three volumes which covered Beethoven's life to 1816.
Since Deiters also died before the biography could be completed,
musicologist Hugo Riemann (1849-1919) was called upon to conclude
the work. The final German volumes appeared in 1907 and 1908. It
was the American critic Henry Edward Krehbiel (1854-1923) who
prepared the present work, the first and considerably revised
English version, published in three volumes in 1921. Volume 1
covers Beethoven's career through to 1802, the year of the
Heiligenstadt Testament.
