Description
Book SynopsisFor two decades, beginning in the early 1870s, Robert Keller ushered into print most of Johannes Brahms's major compositions. This volume collects for the first time the complete extant correspondence between Brahms and Keller. Their correspondence illuminates a relationship of mutual respect and friendship and highlights the labour that went into the publication of Brahms's masterpieces.
