<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Brahms composed his first volume of choral-watzes in August of 1869 to poetry taken from <i>Polydora</i>, an 1855 collection of German folk-poems and love-songs assembled by George Friedrich Daumer (1800-1875). Rather than the usual accompaniment for piano solo, Brahms elected to provide one for piano duet. The first performance was given in Heidelberg on November 4, 1869. The conductor Ernst Rudorff persuaded Brahms to orchestrate the accompaniment for 8 of the 18 selections (plus another subsequently included in his Op.65 set) for a concert given at Berlin's Hochschule on March 19, 1870. Offered here is a new edition by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr.
