In the wake of the positive reception of Brahms's first set of Liebeslieder-Walzer after their 1869 premire, the conductor Ernst Rudorff persuaded the composer to orchestrate the accompaniment for 8 of the 18 selections (plus a ninth piece subsequently included in the Op.65 set) for a concert given at Berlin's Hochschule on March 19, 1870. Offered here is a newly researched and superbly engraved edition by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr.
