Brahms at the center of a complex network of relationships: the Turkish-German Piano//Duo EnsariSchuch not only traces his Hungarian connections, but also his influence on his Czech colleague Antonín Dvořák, whom Brahms introduced to his own publisher Fritz Simrock - who then ordered the popular "Slavonic Dances", which were based on the model of the famous "Hungarian Dances". Brahms reveals himself as a follower and admirer of Robert Schumann in 1861 in the Variations op. 23, in which he takes up the moving theme of the older colleague's "Ghost Variations," still unpublished at the time.
