CRITICAL NOTES
“The following are the sources of the Sonata for Piano and Violoncello which exist and which were used for this
edition:
1. The original edition, published by Simrock, Berlin, 1866:
Sonate jiir Pianoforte und Violoncell von Johannes Brabnas. Op. 38. Herta Dr. Josef Giinsbacher zwgeeignet. Pull
score and violoncello part (publisher's number: 6476).
2. Brahms’ own copy (Sirurock edition).
The Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, Vienna, is to be thanked for granting permission to examine this copy which
is in its possession. It contains some handwritten corrections:
st movement
bar
56 Piano 1. h,, second half of the bar: lower note f sharp instead of g
172, Piano 1 h,, lowest note of first chord, b instead of a
263 Piano r. h.: final erotchet g sharp (#)
3rd movement
bar
24 Piano x. hu: final crotchot, # above ¢r, also bar 151
87 Pi inal note a flat (b)
150. Piano J. ba: final erotchee g sharp (3)
‘The notation of the original edition has heen largely retained, with the exception of the by now obsolete method
of norating the extension of a note value over the bar line by means of a lengthening dot. In addition, some
irregular notational procedures bave been brought into conformity with those used continually in the original
edition, Differences between the score and the separate cello part in the original edition have been eliminated.
Phrasing and dynamic marks added by the editors have been indicated by brackets, and additional staccato dots
by small type. The editors are also responsible for the dotted phrase marks in the solo pars, which are to be
regarded as performing directions. Particular attention is drawn to the following (all details refer to the original
edition):
