Description:
Around 1850, Brahms was encouraged by the father of his piano pupil and friend Alwin Cranz, the Hamburg music publisher August Cranz, to "prepare popular opera melodies in a tasty way for the little ones".
Cranz brought Brahms' arrangements, as well as those of his other authors, onto the market undated and without plate numbers; in addition, in these numerous editions, the respective author is concealed behind a collective pseudonym "G.W. Marcks". The group of works of the Brahms arrangements published under pseudonyms is largely in the dark, especially as all autographs are considered lost. Only the present cycle Souvenir de la Russie stands out from his other arrangements, as Brahms' authorship can be assumed almost beyond doubt on the basis of a number of indications and cross-connections.
The present edition is based on the reprint of the first edition by Kurt Hofmann. The engraving errors in the first edition have been corrected, and inadvertent omissions and obvious inconsistencies in the paraphrasing have been gently adjusted per analogiam.
