Johannes Brahms (1833 - 1897)
| Strange to say, many sources still consider Brahms to be a conservative composer of absolute music. But the perception of Brahms has changed substantially - started by Arnold Schönberg's talk «Brahms, the Progressive» in 1933. Many of the sources below seem to be not aware of this. I recommend the following books (both in German) if you want to learn more about musicology's view of Brahms' historical role: |
|
«Johannes Brahms oder Die Relativierung der "absoluten" Musik» H.-W. Heister (ed.), Bockel Verlag, Hamburg, Germany. 1997. |
|
«Verteidigung des musikalischen Fortschritts - Brahms und Schönberg» A. Dümling (ed.), Argument-Verlag, Hamburg, Germany. 1990. |
| A list of internet resources with information on Brahms is given below. The list is very incomplete and subject to a continuous expansion. If you know other good resources please tell me. |
