Piano Trio In C Minor, Op.101

The foreword of this edition presents information on contemporary performance practice; Hogwood has drawn on the comments of Fanny Davis, a Brahms student, to shed light on this. She describes how Brahms played the trio withJoseph Joachim and Robert Hausmann at an informal reading (with Clara Schumann turning pages) in Baden-Baden in approx. 1895. Davis’ descriptions have much to do with articulation, dynamics and tempo fluctuations; in shortexactly those aspects of performance practice where we lack real direction.

• Includes important information on performance practice of the day (Ger/Eng)
• With a detailed criticalcommentary(Eng)
• Christopher Hogwood’s scholarly-critical edition of Brahms’ final and perhaps greatest trio op. 101 is based on two main sources, the first edition and the autograph.
