Richard Mühlfeld
Brahms' Clarinettist
Brand: by Maren Goltz / Herta Müller
The Meiningen clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld (1856-1907) was already a legend during his lifetime. The famous interpreter inspired Johannes Brahms to write his masterful chamber music works for clarinet, thus triggering a veritable “clarinet boom”. This volume is the first complete edition of the privately owned documentation of his brother Christian Mühlfeld, which describes the life story of the clarinettist from the perspective of his closest relative and is supplemented by statistical chapters and a collection of press extracts. Detailed introductions and commentaries make this valuable source on the life and work of the exceptional musician accessible. A contribution by woodwind instrument maker Jochen Seggelke on Richard Mühlfeld's instruments and numerous previously unpublished photographs enrich this fascinating volume for clarinettists, musicologists and music lovers alike.
