Lot 84 | BRAHMS, Johannes (1833-1897)
Autograph letter signed ('J. Br.') to 'S' [his publisher, Fritz Simrock], Vienna, 15 December 1893.
In German. Four pages, 143 x 110mm, bifolium, the last page in pencil.
Requesting copies of his last works for piano, including op. 118 and 119. Simrock has sent out copies of Brahms publications [the op. 118 and 119 piano collections] to [the pianist Julius] Epstein 'in the author's name behind his back', and Brahms thanks him for doing this, and asks him to do likewise for [Anton] Door, providing his address. He goes on: 'Shall we be as friendly to the professors with the exercises [51 Uebungen, WoO 6]? / That this kindness to my colleagues here is very pleasing to me I need not stress. / I would thus like to ask for 4 copies – but I must ask you to enclose a copy of the piano pieces, again, so that I have them too'. He sends 'the latest from this year' ['Das neueste vom Jahr'], and asks Simrock to send him a musical textbook by Arrey von Dommer. In a pencilled postscript, Brahms says he has just heard from [Theodor] Kirchner, to whom Simrock had also sent copies: 'you are certainly better than I am, for as far as I remember I had not thought about him'. He concludes with a summary of the music to be sent, comprising the 51 Exercises to Door and Epstein, and to himself four copies of that work, and 'one copy op.118,9'.
Brahms's much loved piano collections op. 118 and 119, published in 1893, are the last of his piano works published during his lifetime. Julius Epstein (1832-1926) and Anton Door (1833-1919) were both professors at the Conservatory of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde.
