3 See www.brahms-institut.de/web/institut_en.html. This is one of a number of pages across the site that is available in English as well as German. As far as possible, hyperlinks are provided to English-language versions of pages. The German-language pages can be reached by simply removing the ‘_en’ component from each URL.

5 www.brahms-institut.de/web/bihl_pdf/archivbestand.pdf – this document is available in German only. There is also a link to ‘New Items’, which provides an individual listing of acquisitions dating back to April 2006. This page has also not been translated, presumably because the catalogue itself is only in German: www.brahms-institut.de/web/sammlung_neuerwerbungen.html.

12 www.brahms-institut.de/web/presse-livestream.html – these videos are also available via the YouTube channel of the Musikhochschule Lübeck, MHL Live: www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Z09aROcIIzBnYCuWue4hQ (though no link to this is provided within the Institut webpage). Although several of the videos are specifically concerned with Brahms, the interview with Sepec is a more general ‘in conversation’, including demonstrations on modern and Baroque violins and a discussion of electric violins – it is for a more general interest audience, in other words, than simply that of Brahms specialists.

13 Some information has been gleaned using the collection of the Johannes-Brahms-Gesamtausgabe Forschungsstelle in Kiel, to supplement Lübeck’s own holdings. These are colour-coded for ease of reference: see www.brahms-institut.de/web/bihl_digital/erstdrucke_en.html.

14 For example the D-LÜbi link at http://imslp.org/wiki/5_Lieder,_Op.47_(Brahms,_Johannes) links directly to www.brahms-institut.de/web/bihl_digital/jb_werkekatalog/op._047.html – it is the first edition of the complete opus that is given on IMSLP. A search for D-LÜbi within IMSLP yields about 200 results: www.google.co.uk/search?q=site:imslp.org++D-L%C3%9Cbi&gws_rd=cr&ei=q_FkWLK6D5vmwQKagJ9g29/12/16.

16 It is made clear, at least, that images are not touched up in any way: www.brahms-institut.de/web/bihl_digital/fotografien_en.html.

17 Perhaps one of the most interesting of these is Dvořák’s handwritten plan for his symphonic poem Polednice (The Noonday Witch) op. 108, Inv. Nr.: ABH 9.31: www.brahms-institut.de/web/bihl_digital/musikmanuskripte/abh_009_031_s_001.html.

19 Details of some of the more prominent figures in Brahms’s address book (notable composers, close friends and colleagues) have been transcribed as part of the navigation information given on this page: www.brahms-institut.de/web/bihl_digital/jb_varia_katalog/adressenbuch_en.html.
