Originally published in 1936, as a second edition in 1948 and as an enlarged and third edition in 1982, Karl Geiringer's biography of Brahms is generally regarded as one of the finest studies of the composer ever published in any language.

As a curator of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, the author was in charge of one of the world's leading Hayden collections. His investigations took him to monasteries, libraries and, as a guest of the Hungarian government, to the archives of the Princes of Esterhazy in Budapest. This is a study of the life and works of Joseph Haydn.
