BRAHMS, Johannes (1833-1897). Autograph letter signed JB to the publisher Fritz Simrock, n.p. [Ischl], n.d. [1 July 1880], black ink, after a discussion on business matters, he writes about unidentified compositions I should be sorry if the pieces were done in a rush and mechanically, making a more refined treatment impossible or superfluous. The new collection is actually much better that the first one, why now continue so fast and so businesslike?, 3 pages, octavo, 176 x 110mm.
This letter is published in Max Kalbeck, Briefe an P. & Fritz Simrock vol II, Schneider reprint, Tutzing, 1974, no.345, pp.153-4.
1880 was the first year in which Brahms spent the summer at Bad Ischl, working on the piano trios in C major and E flat of which only the former was completed (op.87).
