This volume is the definitive playing edition of Brahms's complete works
for four-hand piano, containing 81 compositions in all. These include
the Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann, Op. 23; the delightful
Waltzes, Op. 39; the Liebeslieder Waltzes, Op. 52a; Neue Liebeslieder
Waltzes, Op. 65a; and the 21 Hungarian Dances.
Reprinted from the Complete Works edition of the Gesellschaft der
Musikfreunde, Vienna, 1927, this edition was edited by Eusebius
Mandyczewski, whose Preface, providing notes on manuscript sources and
variants, appears here both in the original German and in a new English
translation.
Note heads are large and this is a very readable edition. Concert
pianists, students, and teachers will find this excellent four-hand
piano music, until now virtually unavailable in sheet music, a valuable
addition to their playing library.
