BRAHMS, Johannes (1833-1897). Autograph letter signed ('J. Brahms') to Sir George Henschel, n.p., n.d. [August 1882], 4 pages, 8vo , on a bifolium (minor rust stains, remnant of label to p.1).
BRAHMS, Johannes (1833-1897). Autograph letter signed ('J. Brahms') to Sir George Henschel, n.p., n.d. [August 1882], 4 pages, 8vo , on a bifolium (minor rust stains, remnant of label to p.1). Brahms affectionately excuses himself for not writing more often, on the grounds that he does not have Henschel's 'tender relationship' with the form: 'bei mir aber noch der Moment kommen soll, wo ich den ersten Brief mit Lust schreibe'. Henschel has been urging Brahms to send a manuscript, which will be hard, 'es wäre das erste Mal daß ich ein M[anuskript] aus den Händen gäbe!', but Brahms warns that the piece in question must be printed soon; Henschel cannot need a choral work, however. The letter ends with affectionate greetings to colleagues and friends. The singer and conductor Sir George Henschel (1850-1934) had become a close friend of Brahms's after singing under him in a performance of the Matthew Passion in 1875. At the date of this letter he was in the United States, where he was the first conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1881 to 1884.
