Abstract

PROBLEM OF THE MULTI- I In April 1873, just before travelling from Vienna to Tutzing, where he would spend much of the following summer, Brahms spent a few days in the Austrian town of Graz. Though Graz was then a small town, Brahms enjoyed its musical life, had given concerts there, and knew some of the local musicians. One musician he saw on this occasion was the composer Adolf Jensen (1837±79). Jensen is perhaps best known today for his songs, but he also wrote music in other genres, including a considerable number of piano works. A few of these Brahms knew: an early piano sonata in B minor that Jensen played for him in Hamburg, probably in 1860, and later published as Four Impromptus, Op. 20; and the six Fantasiestucke, Op. 7 and Piano Sonata in F“ minor, Op. 25, both È 1 dedicated to Brahms. Also in Graz at the time of Brahms's 1873 visit was Richard Heuberger, a native of that town, who would become one of Brahms's close friends. Heuberger would record in his diary numerous meetings and conversations with the composer, including a discussion in 1885 that concerned Adolf Jensen: During the few days
