ResumoHenschel's report 1 Margolis ML Brahms' lullaby revisited. Chest. 2000; : 210-213 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (8) Google Scholar of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in Brahms is, amazingly enough, not the first or best OSA description in a musician. Indeed Glinka's 2 Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka. Memoirs. Translated by: Mudge RB. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, OK1963 Google Scholar 1840 observation (Fig 1)seems to be the earliest account of OSA anywhere. There are striking similarities—a humorous account of OSA in good musicians by a fellow touring musician after, no doubt, drinking sessions. It does seem more than coincidental that the (only?) two good 19th century descriptions of OSA were in musicians, but there is no obvious explanation (syphilis?).
