Johannes Brahms: Life and Letters

This is the first comprehensive English-language collection of Brahms's letters. It contains over 550 letters, including more than a dozen previously unpublished in any language. The letters are woven together with an extended biographical narrative, and span the entire life of the composer. For the first time, English readers and music-lovers have the opportunity to meet Brahms in person, through his words, and in his own voice.
