New volumes of the Brahms Complete Edition
Three volumes of the Brahms Complete Edition are available. The most important of these is certainly the volume on the German Requiem.
According to a press release from Kiel University, new publications include "Ein deutsches Requiem" op. 45 (Series V, Volume 2), Brahms' orchestrations of Schubert songs (Series IX, Volume 4) and the piano arrangements of the Triumphlied op. 55 (Series VA, Volume 4). The volumes are a collaboration between the Brahms Research Center at the Institute of Musicology at Kiel University (CAU) and international experts.
The volume on the German Requiem op. 45 is a milestone. It was produced in international cooperation - in collaboration between the Brahms Research Center at the Institute of Musicology at Kiel University and Michael Struck, who has worked there for many years, and the British-American Brahms researcher Michael Musgrave (Juilliard School, New York). In Kiel, in addition to translation and extensive text revision, the main focus was on the scholarly preparation of the musical text and the preparation of the edition report.
