THE CELLO CONCERTO BRAHMS NEVER GOT ROUND TO WRITINGBrahms's final orchestral composition, the 'Double' Concerto, has been rewritten as a solo cello concerto.Hamburg Brahms Society president Cord Garben began work on the task in 2001 after discovering that Brahms had originally intended to write a solo cello concerto for Robert Hausmann, the dedicatee of his Cello Sonata no. 2. Garben has modified Brahms's original by moving many of the solo violin melodies to the woodwind instruments. He cites ample documentary evidence for his 'reconstruction', including Brahms's letter to Hausmann in which the composer interprets the cellist's lack of correspondence as disappointment that Brahms had added a solo violin part to his cello concerto. [...] Alexander Ivashkin will premiere the work in Hamburg [Musikhalle] on 23 and 24 October [2004] with the Hamburger Symphoniker and Andrey Boreyko. From: "The Strad" July 2004
