Together, they consider such topics as Brahms's relationship with Clara and Robert Schumann, his musical interactions with the "New German School" of Wagner and Liszt, his influence upon Arnold Schoenberg and other young composers, his approach to performing his own music, and his productive interactions with visual artists. To this end, the original essays by leading experts are retained and revised, and supplemented by contributions from a new generation of Brahms scholars. In this edition, the editors reflect new perspectives on Brahms that have developed over the years. This book has become a key text for listeners, performers, and scholars interested in the life, work, and times of one of the nineteenth century's most celebrated composers. ![]()
