Summary of This Score

This edition brings together a short "Albumblatt" for piano by Johannes Brahms, derived from a one-page autograph source written by the composer in a guestbook in 1853. The musical content, initially left untitled by Brahms, is of particular interest: twelve years later, the composer literally reused this material in his Horn Trio. This publication thus provides a brief but valuable piece, both for pianists curious about the young Brahms's language and for enthusiasts of musical philology.

The volume offers a documentary and practical approach: it includes an introduction and its German equivalent (Einführung ), then the facsimile of the "Albumblatt (1853)" allowing observation of the handwriting, placement of signs, and page layout. The score is also provided in modern notation (performance score format) to facilitate keyboard work, reading during lessons, or integration into the Romantic repertoire. Finally, a critical commentary completes the set and sheds light on the recently identified source exploited for this edition.
