The publishers Henle and Breitkopf & Hartel are continuing their collaboration, now with Brahms, by publishing the performance material of the double concerto. Brahms's last work with orchestra was published in the new Brahms Complete Edition in 2002, whereby the editor was able to base himself on newly accessible sources. Of particular interest are the additional performance instructions for the solo violin and solo cello, which were gathered from the first edition of the solo parts. These indications were supplied by the soloists of the first performance, Joseph Joachim and Robert Hausmann. No doubt authorized by Brahms, they communicate valuable insights into the performance practice of the time. The new material also contains a part in which the solo violin and cello are notated one above the other. The trio edition for violin, violoncello and piano (EB 6040), which was made by Brahms himself, has proven itself for chamber performances; it continues to be available.The full score is a conductor's dream: big, bold, and beautifully laid out on glare-free bluff paper. (Strings).

“The adaptation of Brahms' four symphonies by the composer Friedrich Hermann (1828-1907), written during the composer's lifetime and published one year after his death, in 1898, are exemples of how this orchestral effect can be created through the addition of another pianist. Hermann called them 'works for pianoforte 4 hands with violin and violoncello.'Members of piano trios have repeatedly expressed the desire for a usable chamber version of the Double Concerto, Op. 102 of Brahms; this wish is now being granted for the first time with the transference of the orchestral material in the spirit of Friedrich Hermann.Taking the concerto character into consideration, the solo parts are only added to complete the piano part in the grand tutti of the first movement and in other brief tutti sections; this work is not to be regarded as a piano trio in the traditional sense. In a few places, the dynamics (originally conceived for the large orchestral apparatus) have been carefully adjusted to fulfil the requirements of balance and transparency so necessary in chamber music.”(Cord Garben).
