  • Martin Gustav Nottebohm was a pianist, teacher, musical editor and composer who spent most of his career in Vienna. He is particularly celebrated for his studies of Beethoven. Nottebohm studied in Leipzig, where he met Mendelssohn and Schumann, and settled in Vienna in 1846. In 1862 he met Brahms, who became a lifelong friend; Brahms cared for Nottebohm in his last illness and took care of the arrangements for his funeral. Nottebohm was a pioneer researcher in what are now described as 'Beethoven studies'. He sought out Beethoven relics and produced an important 'thematic catalogue' of Beethoven's works. His greatest contribution, however, is probably his series of essays and commentaries on several of the musical 'sketchbooks' in which Beethoven notated and elaborated his initial ideas. The last of Nottebohm's publications on this subject appeared posthumously in 1887, edited by his former pupil Mandyczewski. Writing of Nottebohm's investigations into Beethoven's sketches, the later Beethoven scholar Joseph Kerman evaluated him in the following terms: "He made some mistakes, but it is to be doubted whether many musical scholars have maintained so high a standard of accuracy and objectivity, and so sharp a sense of the relevant, in treating a similar mass of difficult material". Nottebohm's scholarly efforts were not confined to Beethoven, however. He published a thematic catalogue of Schubert's works and was an avid collector of Baroque and pre-Baroque music both vocal and instrumental. Brahms inherited some of his collection and bequeathed it, along with his own library, to the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. Nottebohm's own compositions were mainly in the fields of chamber and piano music. The latter includes a set of Variations on a Sarabande of J.S. Bach for piano duet, which he often performed with Brahms. In a letter to Heinrich von Herzogenberg dated August 20, 1876, Brahms numbers Nottebohm (in the same sentence with Schumann) among the modern practitioners of variation form.

  • Мартин Густав Ноттебом — австрийский музыковед, композитор и музыкальный педагог. Учился сперва в Берлине, затем в Лейпцигской консерватории у Феликса Мендельсона и Роберта Шумана и наконец в Вене у Симона Зехтера. С 1846 г. преподавал в Венской консерватории. В 1862 г. Ноттебом познакомился с Иоганнесом Брамсом, став одним из его близких друзей; Брамс ухаживал за Ноттебомом во время его последней болезни, был устроителем его похорон и унаследовал собранную Ноттебомом коллекцию барочной и добарочной вокальной и инструментальной музыки. Музыковедческие труды Ноттебома были посвящены, прежде всего, Бетховену, начиная с книги «Очерки о Бетховене». Наибольшее значение имеет работа Ноттебома над записными книжками, в которых Бетховен набрасывал черновики своих произведений; последние сочинение Ноттебома в этой области были опубликованы посмертно его учеником Ойзебиусом Мандычевским. Он составил также тематические указатели опубликованных произведений Бетховена (фр. Catalogue thématique des oeuvres publiées de Ludwig van Beethoven, avec des observations chronologiques et bibliographiques; 1868) и Шуберта (фр. Catalogue thématique des oeuvres publié es de Franz Schubert; 1875). Композиторское наследие Ноттебома невелико и состоит, главным образом, из фортепианной и камерной музыки. Определённой известностью пользовались его Вариации на тему сарабанды Баха для двух фортепиано (op. 17), которые Ноттебом часто исполнял дуэтом с Брамсом.
