The pianist Christian Köhn, who is very familiar with Brahms' piano works, has now published a new edition of these variations on the eight-bar theme from Handel's Suite No. 1 ("Suite de pièces de Clavecin", 2nd volume), written in 1861, based on all the sources and current research findings in the Urtext.

The editor's fingerings, a reader-friendly score and practical turnarounds meet the requirements of a practical edition.
A detailed preface introduces the genesis and sources of the work and contains valuable information on contemporary performance practice.
The critical-practical edition of the Handel Variations op. 24 expands Bärenreiter's extensive series of Brahms's piano works in the Urtext with a central work by the composer.


The editor
Christian Köhn teaches at the Detmold University of Music. One of his artistic focuses is on the piano works of Johannes Brahms. Together with his duo partner Silke-Thora Matthies, he won prizes at the ARD Music Competition in Munich and recorded the world's first complete recording of all of Johannes Brahms' works for piano duo. In addition to the Serenades op. 11 and 16 for piano four hands (BA 6570/BA 6571), he has also published numerous works for solo piano by Johannes Brahms for Bärenreiter.
