This volume includes original approaches to Brahms's music and pursues innovative methodologies to interrogate the historical, cultural, political and artistic contexts of his creativity. Rethinking Brahms is well worth the read. * Andrew Lorenz, Stringendo * This wide-ranging collection provides fresh perspectives on Brahms's treatment as a legendary figure in his own lifetime, and on his influence upon twentieth and twenty-first-century creative thought. A thought-provoking read, bringing together multiple perspectives and opinions across performance, composition, analysis and historical contexts which - refreshingly - don't always agree with each other. -Katy Hamilton, editor of Brahms in the Home and the Concert Hall and Brahms in Context Rethinking Brahms will have broad appeal to music scholars, performers, and cultural and social historians. Curated by two leading experts, this volume demonstrates how relevant, even essential, the composer, his works, and his world remain well into the twenty-first century. -Walter Frisch, Columbia University Rethinking Brahms offers readers a treasure trove of engaging essays that invite us to consider Brahms and his world anew. Drawing upon art and literary history, music analysis, performance and sound studies, and more, this collection provides a timely reconsideration of nineteenth-century musical style and practices while situating Brahms and his works within an increasingly nuanced and multifaceted cultural context. Each well illustrated chapter contains new insights while also providing a welcome overview of sources and previous scholarship that will prove useful to scholars, students, performers, and listeners interested in a fuller understanding of Brahms and his music. -Marie Sumner Lott, Associate Professor of Music History, Georgia State University
