Excursions, Op. 20, is the first published solo piano piece by a composer born in what year?
Excursions (Barber) Excursions, Op. 20, is the first published solo piano piece by Samuel Barber. Barber himself explains:
Piano Trio No. 1 (Brahms) The Piano Trio No. 1 in B major, Op. 8, by Johannes Brahms was completed in January 1854, when the composer was only twenty years old, published in November 1854 and premiered on 13 October 1855 in Danzig. It has often been mistakenly claimed that the first performance had taken place in the United States. Brahms produced a revised version of the work in summer 1889 that shows significant alterations so that it may even be regarded as a distinct (fourth) piano trio. This “New Edition” ("Neue Ausgabe"), as he called it, was premiered on 10 January 1890 in Budapest and published in February 1891.
