Summary of This Score

This Breitkopf Urtext edition (reference EB 8685 ) presents the work by Johannes Brahms, op. 77, in a version based on the Brahms-Gesamtausgabe of the "Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde" in Vienna. The goal is clear: to offer a musical text as close as possible to the sources, with a presentation designed for study and preparation of a demanding interpretation.

Brahms composed this piece during the summer of 1878, in Pörtschach am Wörthersee. The initial project was conceived in four movements before the composer revised his plan. In a letter to his friend Joseph Joachim, he humorously mentions the removal of the central movements and the idea of leaving an "added" adagio, a vivid testimony to his compositional process and sense of self-mockery.

The premiere took place on January 1, 1879, at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, conducted by the composer himself, with Joseph Joachim as soloist. The first edition appeared the same year, confirming the immediate place of the work in the repertoire.

A highlight of this publication is the presence of cadenzas by Joseph Joachim and Thomas Zehetmair. They allow the work to be approached from two complementary perspectives, between tradition and contemporary insight, and constitute valuable material to refine phrasing, articulation, virtuosity, and the construction of the musical discourse.
