The well-known Liebeslieder op. 52, originally for piano four hands and voices ad libitum, appear here for the first time as a modern Urtext edition in a hitherto little-known form for voices and piano for two hands. Brahms made this arrangement himself in November 1874 after the conductor Hermann Levi, who had initially been commissioned, had rejected it. Brahms had previously immersed himself in the pieces again for the four-hand version without voice op. 52A, so that he was now able to create the new arrangement in a few days. Here, Brahms explicitly intended the voices no longer as ad libitum, since the vocal parts are not completely incorporated in the piano part any more. In the spring of 1875, this version was published by Simrock, but it could not prevail against the popular original version and was presumably mainly performed in a domestic setting. The present edition would like to invite musicians to rediscover, practically test and perform a still little-known form of the Liebeslieder op. 52. The musical text follows the new Brahms Complete Edition, on which the informative preface is also based.

The song cycle Zigeunerlieder (Gypsy Songs) by Johannes Brahms consists of eleven settings of Hungarian folk songs in a German adaptation by Hugo Conrat, which, according to the composer, could be understood to form a novel-like structure. Four more of these were later published as part of the Six Quartets op. 112 (CHB 16000). The cycle originated in a relatively short time in February 1888 and went into print in October 1888, as the editor of the respective volume of the new Brahms complete edition is explaining in detail in the preface. In a way, the Zigeunerlieder op. 103 form the exotic counterpart of the Liebeslieder (Love Songs) op. 52 and op. 65 and the vocal counterpart of the Hungarian Dances. Although Brahms had conceived them for vocal quartets in domestic use, public performances with choirs already happened during his lifetime. This tradition continues until today, taking advantage of modern grand pianos with a larger volume to enable a larger choral scoring.
