About this Item
Handwritten, signed postcard. Date on stamp: 26th March 1876. Wien. Johannes Brahms' holograph letter to his publisher and friend, Fritz Simrock. In his letter, Brahms informs Simrock about his return to Breslau, then, he adds a note referring to an 1875 edition of Hungarian Dances by Wilhelm Kühe that was published by André Verlag in Offenbach. Since it looked like a reprint of the Brahms' work of the same title, Simrock and Brahms initiated a lawsuit against André and Kühe for illicit reprint. The debate ended with a judicial settlement between the two parts. (Ebert 1986.) Fritz Simrock (1837 - 1901) was a German music publisher, a close friend of Brahms who published most of the composer's work. Literature.: Ebert, Wolfgang.
