Description:
After Johannes Brahms' String Sextet in G major op. 36, the Simrock publishing house published – as was customary at the time – adaptations of the work for other ensembles. In 1883 a version for piano trio was published, arranged by Theodor Kirchner (1823–1903), himself a composer and friend of Brahms. Unlike other versions commissioned by the publisher – such as the one for piano by Robert Keller – Kirchner's favor met with Brahms' goodwill, as can be seen from a letter to Simrock: "The trios [after op. 18 and 36] make me extraordinarily happy! If you had the idea, I congratulate you, but Kirchner also executed it magnificently." For this first Urtext edition of the Kirchner arrangement of Brahms' op. 36, in addition to the main source, the score and the parts of the first edition, the autograph engraving template of the slow movement was critically evaluated.
