The new finding is however not a brief sketch but a finished manuscript of a complete piano piece, clearly written and including performance markings.<\/p>\n<h3>Who was first?<\/h3>\n<p>The album was catalogued and described in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.doylenewyork.com\/asp\/fullcatalogue.asp?salelot=11BP01+++228+&#038;refno=++802656\" target=\"_blank\">Doyle New York&#8217;s sale catalogue of April 20th 2011<\/a> with the assistance of Dr. Michael Struck of the Johannes Brahms Gesamtausgabe, Kiel. However, earlier this month BBC claimed that conductor and musicologist Christopher Hogwood discovered the piece and that the world premiere was to be performed by Andr\u00e1s Schiff in a broadcast on January 21. Although Hogwood&#8217;s discovery appeared to be slightly misleading and the piece had already been publicly performed, the short video by BBC including an interesting discussion and samples of Schiff\u2019s masterful performance is well worth watching:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0a3REsRnotY\" target=\"_blank\">BBC Radio 3: Andr\u00e1s Schiff plays a lost work by Johannes Brahms<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>The new edition<\/h3>\n<p>A scanned copy of the manuscript has been online on Doyle New York as part of their April 2011 catalog, a transcription of it appeared on IMSLP this week and the piece will be included in B\u00e4renreiter\u2019s new edition of Brahms&#8217; Horn Trio to be released in February.<br \/>\nPiano Street\u2019s new urtext score may very well be the first officially published edition of this wonderful little piece.
