The story of Johannes Brahms and Breitkopf & Hartel, music publishers of Leipzig, is a story of a chequered relationship. Prophetically introduced and initiated into the publishing world by Robert Schumann, Brahms' pathway to success was practically paved for him. His business association with the tradition-steeped publishing house of Leipzig did not remain unclouded for long, however.
