520 "Elegant, thought-provoking, often outrageous but always
stimulating, this book will fascinate those who know a lot
about Brahms as well as those who know little." - Stephen
Hough, pianist and composer. Hailed in his lifetime as
Beethoven's successor and a powerful symbol of musical
classicism, Johannes Brahms was nonetheless a
controversial figure in a world infatuated with the bold
new directions taken by Wagner and Liszt. Today Brahms'
stature is unassailable, and his works remain staples of
the repertoire in each of the many genres in which he
composed. This engaging survey of Brahms' music covers his
major orchestral, choral, and piano music, culminating in
a discussion of the ever-popular German Requiem. Author
John Bell Young, a concert pianist and music critic,
offers an astute commentary on many facets of the
composer's life, including the attitudes of Brahms'
contemporaries and his complex romantic relationships.
Readers will find this volume an accessible guide to the
great composer's compelling music, placed within the
context of his era and environment.
