I am presently working on the C-T sonata for clar. and piano. The piano
part seems to have many characteristics of an orchestral reduction. Does
anyone on the list know if the piece originated as anything other than a
clar/piano work? TIA

I once read that Brahms and Tchaikovsky met only one time. The
account
stated that Brahms was visiting at the home of Edvard Grieg, and that
while they were having dinner, Tchaikovsky dropped by to visit. I
would
like to know if this is true, and if anyone can supply a citation.

The report went on to state that Brahms and Tchaikovsky took an
immediate
dislike for each other.

I would really have liked to have been present on that occasion!

I also have heard that there is a recording of the voice of Brahms,
speaking in English. He was a friend of Thomas Edison, and one of the
first people in Europe to benefit from Edison's inventions, including
the
electric light bulb and the cylinder recording machine.

Does anyone know if it is possible to obtain a copy of this recording?

P.S.: If this list were moderated and screened, I would not be able
to
post this message, unless I could work into it perhaps some mention of
the
works of Brahms for clarinet. But, I don't agree that subscribing to
a
moderated list is tantamount to forfeiting one's right of free speech.
