Like many composers, Brahms was in the habit of making transcriptions, mainly to double his royalties, although he often concealed his authorship in a pseudonym. This transcription is unsigned, but it carries the unmistakable stamp of the master. No one but Brahms would have dared change the key, Starker points out - an inspired musical per mutation that illuminates the cello's lower register and exploits the instrument's mellow color and timbre. The composer also made some 200 alterations, mostly minor, in the score which he probably recast for his friend, the eminent 19th century cellist Robert Hausmann...

Some will pounce on the fact that "John Reid" is a pseudonym; you may as well know that "Charles Bonnell" is, too. Reid does it to protect the privacy of everyone who has had contact with him; I use my real name at meetings like those of the Harvard-Radcliffe Gay Students Association. In contrast, some of Allen Ginsberg's partners have later found in the pages of Playboy all the details...
