Title: Fraud.
Review: This patently fraudulent book was concocted by its author with a clear agenda. Its bogus-ness is clarified by the scholarly article by Jan Swafford "Did the Young Brahms Play Piano in Waterfront Bars?". Do not get taken in by its nonsense as it has no root in authenticity whatsoever. How convenient that not one of the composers could argue what is written here; there is not a single document other than the mythical discussions this charlatan is posing as truth that supports that these composers had any position such as those written here.
