Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The music of Johannes Brahms displays some of the most effective use of the French horn before the symphonies of Mahler, surpassing the works of Dvorak and even Bruckner in its heroic use of the instrument. It has been said that Brahms, in writing for the horn, was attempting to emulate the principles of orchestration found in the music of such composers as Beethoven and Schubert. How he did this, as well as how he synthesized these traditional orchestrational techniques with the artistic and technical developments of the time, not to mention his own heroic concept of the instrument, offers an area for scholarly investigation. This topic is one which is of interest to brass teachers and players because of Brahms' unique treatment of the instrument. It is also of interest to Brahms scholars since Brahms' associations with the horn and his treatment of the instrument are important aspects in the consideration of Brahms as a musician and a composer. Although the music should always be the most important consideration in a study such as this, Brahms' use of the horn will best be understood after considering the many influences which caused Brahms to write for the instrument as he did. Consequently, before discussing the music, it will be necessary to discuss a number of topics which will provide information about the underlying reasons for Brahms' horn-scoring techniques. The historical background of the horn before the time of Brahms will be an important consideration us well as the types of horn used in Brahms' day. A discussion will be given of the techniques used by the hornists of the day, and also of the orchestras und hornists whom Brahms heard and conducted and with whom he performed. Any close associations Brahms had with horn players will be discussed as well as the time and place of the important early performances of his works with important horn parts. During the nineteenth century a number of texts on orchestration were written which were probably available to Brahms. The treatment of the horn in these texts will be considered in order to determine whether Brahms was influenced by any of these books in his horn-scoring techniques. Brahms, like most composers, was influenced by other composers who were both his predecessors and his contemporaries. An important consideration, therefore, will be the evolution of horn-scoring practices from the time the horn became a regular member of the orchestra (ca. 1750) to the time when Brahms' horn-scoring techniques became more or less stabilized (ca. l850). The second section of the study will deal with the music itself, showing the techniques which Brahms used in writing for the horn and the demands he made on his players. Since Brahms might have intended his horn parts to be played on the natural instrument, the first approach to his music will be to discuss any patterns in his use of notes which do not fall into the natural harmonic series (these being the notes which, in the hand-horn technique, are produced through the use of the hand in the bell of the instrument). Since the use of the hand differs from note to note it will be necessary to discuss the frequency of each of these so called "stopped" notes in order to discover any patterns in their usage. Also, the number of these notes found in solo and tutti passages will be discussed, as well as the specific nature of their use; that is, in chromatic or diatonic passages (both in and out of the key of the piece) and as non-harmonic tones. The author has obtained the actual parts of the works studied and has attempted to play all these parts using the hand-horn technique. This was done in order to determine, from a practical standpoint whether these parts were intended to be performed on the hand- or valve-horn. By comparing the results of this study with those of the analysis, and by putting the works in their proper chronological order, it will be shown how Brahms' horn-scoring techniques changed through the years. To Brahms, the horn color, especially in solo passages, always had a very special meaning and he frequently used it in very important places. This psychological effect of Brahms' use of the instrument will also be discussed. The final section of the study will deal with conclusions reached through the historical and analytical approaches to the subject. Here an attempt will be made to stow how certain events and associations affected Brahms as a composer, particularly in relation to his use of the French horn. It is to be hoped. that, with a thorough knowledge of the techniques employed by Brahms in scoring for the horn, as well as an understanding of the underlying reasons for the use of these techniques, the true nature of Brahms' concept of the instrument will be made clear.

Download or read book Johannes Brahms written by Jan Swafford and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1999-12-07 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book "This brilliant and magisterial book is a very good bet to...become the definitive study of Johannes Brahms."--The Plain Dealer Judicious, compassionate, and full of insight into Brahms's human complexity as well as his music, Johannes Brahms is an indispensable biography. Proclaimed the new messiah of Romanticism by Robert Schumann when he was only twenty, Johannes Brahms dedicated himself to a long and extraordinarily productive career. In this book, Jan Swafford sets out to reveal the little-known Brahms, the boy who grew up in mercantile Hamburg and played piano in beer halls among prostitutes and drunken sailors, the fiercely self-protective man who thwarted future biographers by burning papers, scores and notebooks late in his life. Making unprecedented use of the remaining archival material, Swafford offers richly expanded perspectives on Brahms's youth, on his difficult romantic life--particularly his longstanding relationship with Clara Schumann--and on his professional rivalry with Lizst and Wagner. "[Johannes Brahms] will no doubt stand as the definitive work on Brahms, one of the monumental biographies in the entire musical library."--London Weekly Standard "It is a measure of the accomplishment of Jan Swafford's biography that Brahms's sadness becomes palpable.... [Swafford] manages to construct a full-bodied human being."--The New York Times Book Review
