Brahms'
Piano Symphony in the
Urtext of the complete
editionJohannes Brahms
enjoyed a bit of
understatement every now
and then, and whenever
his second piano concerto
was the object of
discussion, he called it
his little concerto -
although it was more than
clear that, with its four
movements (including
Scherzo), he was giving
his contemporaries
something truly symphonic
to chew on. The press
didn't hesitate long:
soon it was being
derisively called piano
symphony, which, however,
did nothing to prevent
its popularity. Brahms
himself and other
pianists played the work
everywhere in the 1880s,
and the piano reduction
was so successful that it
had to be reprinted three
times within three months
after its first
printing.The Urtext
edition follows the text
of the respective volume
in the Brahms Complete
Edition published in
2013. It takes the first
printing of the score as
the main source;
moreover, both the
autograph as well as the
printed reduction
provided further
information with which
engraving errors of the
first edition could be
corrected.
