András Schiff plays a lost work by Johannes Brahms

*Listen to the whole of András Schiff's performance on the Radio 3 web site: http://bbc.in/wZSkFV*

'Albumblatt' is the name given to a beautiful short piano piece by Johannes Brahms written out by the composer in a guestbook in Göttingen in 1853. Conductor and musicologist Christopher Hogwood brought the discovery to BBC Radio 3 and pianist András Schiff came into Studio 80A at Broadcasting House in London to play the piece for Radio 3's Music Matters, to be transmitted on Saturday 21 January 2012 (listen online in HD Sound on the Radio 3 web site: http://bbc.in/wml2dA). This short video about the discovery includes an extract from the Music Matters item.

Absoloutley beautiful. What a wonderful gem, I'm so glad it was discovered. Quick question, will the score be available? Like an official version of it? I've managed to find a scan of the original manuscript online, but it's quite difficult to make sense of it. I would really love to play the piece through myself.

Yes, the sheet music will be published by Bärenreiter in February as part of a new edition of Brahms' Horn Trio in E flat major, Op 40 edited by Christopher Hogwood. Search for 'Bärenreiter' for more info. Steve Bowbrick, BBC Radio 3

"I do not like arguing with someone I don't know on a computer because their is enough crap in the REAL WORLD to deal with...".Then why do you impose your crap on YT with regularity? ;-)

Probably your inability to "fuck off" is the reason you take out your stupid frustrations here....you'll be left "alone" when you decide to leave ignorant and crude trolling alone, otherwise....

I will be watching...:-)

[1Thompsonmusic]

I have apologized for my severe lack of intellect and respect for Andras Schiff because that was an odd thing to type. However, I do not like arguing with someone I don't know on a computer because their is enough crap in the REAL WORLD to deal with so fuck off and leave me alone.

[bloodgrss]

Oh, I don't think you should commit suicide, much as we might wish it; you do that intellectually every time you post anyway...

Yes, your Christian piety is so much in evidence in all your bigoted comments-and your small minded ignorant trolling intolerance in line with 'conservative' reactionary prejudice.

What you have been given is "high", as in 'stinks to....'

Ah, removing compromising posts again, eh? ;-)

[1Thompsonmusic]

Well, maybe I went slightly over the top calling him a crap, second rate pianist. In fact, that was a ridiculous thing to type so I apologize for being so utterly stupid, so much so that it seems I should commit suicide, but I can't do that because I am a Christian and vote conservative, so I cannot do that as what I have been given is higher than what anyone of the left wing has been given.

[bloodgrss]

1Thompsonmusic/Gordon is a crap, second rate pianist and his musical trolling is a joke.

Do I have the template right...certainty it's more of a truthful statement now...
