BRAHMS, Johannes (1833-1897). Autograph letter signed to an unidentified correspondent in Leipzig, n.p. [Sassnitz], n.d. [16 June 1876], black ink, announcing that his address for the time being is Sassnitz auf Rügen as he cannot find his correspondent's newspaper and saying that he received Kirchner while still in Vienna, 1 page post card, 90 x 140mm., with autograph address on verso
In the summer of 1876 at Sassnitz, Brahms was finishing the First Symphony in C minor, op.68, which he had begun working on in 1855. The symphony was first performed on 4 November 1876 in Karlsruhe. It is possible that the Kirchner, which Brahms says he received in Vienna, refers to a work by Theodor Kirchner, the organist and composer.
