Book excerpt: The present essay addresses the double embodiment of Piano Trio No. 1 in B Major, Op. 8 by Johannes Brahms. The 1854 "original version" and the 1891 "revised version" symbolize distinct compositional periods in the life of the composer, whose lack of authoritative opinion toward the two Trios' relationship created complications. Today, appreciation of Brahms's B Major Trio in its first incarnation requires an effort of historical reconstruction, and for musicians steeped in his music, an ability to look beyond the imposing image of the replacement trio, a work from 1889 and published in 1891. My research seeks to restore the 1854 Trio to its position of prominence as Brahms's first ambitious work of chamber music. This research extends to an exploration of Brahms's aesthetic environment during the early 1850s, from his poetic affinity with E.T.A. Hoffmann and his alter ego Johannes Kreisler to the artistic influence of Robert and Clara Schumann. The disparity between the two Trios suggests that "revision" is an inadequate description of Brahms's far-reaching reshaping of the original work. The aging composer's emphasis on structural cohesion resulted in passages from three of the four original movements being substantially compressed or removed. While the re-envisioned version is economical and thematically compact, the original version possesses its own remarkable qualities: ambitious scope, diverse musical material, and potent allusiveness that encourages a different approach to analysis and performance. By examining the shared and divergent elements of both Trios, I aim to clarify their relationship, cast light on stylistic and historical factors, and promote a heightened appreciation of the music for performers and interpreters. A link to my lecture recital from May 2022, including performances of the first movement of the 1854 Trio and the complete 1891 Trio, can be found at the following link: httpss://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFytCe10bOM. These performances are intimately connected to my dissertation, as parts of a larger effort to integrate artistic practice and scholarly research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The use of musical ciphers has been well documented in Robert Schumann's music, by the composer and musicologists alike. Similar encipherings, including SCHA (Schumann), Brahms (BAHS), and Chiarina (CHAA), have been discovered in Johannes Brahms's music. Studies to date have focused primarily on Brahms's chamber music, including the Piano trio no. 1 in B major, op. 8 and the Piano quartet no. 3 in C minor, op. 60. This paper illuminates additional cipher material in Brahms's later solo piano music, particularly in the 7 Fantasien, op. 116. Historical context provides motive for Brahms's use of ciphers, including further cipher material in the 8 Klavierstücke, op. 76. Brahms's own intimate knowledge of Robert Schumann's compositional style, as well as his access to the older composer's writings and diaries provides a strong case for his likely use of ciphers"--Abstract.
Download or read book Performing Brahms written by Michael Musgrave and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-10-02 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great deal of evidence survives about how Brahms and his contemporaries performed his music. But much of this evidence - found in letters, autograph scores, treatises, publications, recordings, and more - has been hard to access, both for musicians and for scholars. This book brings the most important evidence together into one volume. It also includes discussions by leading Brahms scholars of the many issues raised by the evidence. The period spanned by the life of Brahms and the following generation saw a crucial transition in performance style. As a result, modern performance practices differ significantly from those of Brahms's time. By exploring the musical styles and habits of Brahms's era, this book will help musicians and scholars understand Brahms's music better and bring fresh ideas to present-day performance. The value of the book is greatly enhanced by the accompanying CD of historic recordings - including a performance by Brahms himself.
Download or read book Music as Cultural Practice 1800 1900 written by Lawrence Kramer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1993-11-24 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Music as Cultural Practice, Lawrence Kramer adapts the resources of contemporary literary theory to forge a genuinely new discourse about music. Rethinking fundamental questions of meaning and expression, he demonstrates how European music of the nineteenth century collaborates on equal terms with textual and sociocultural practices in the constitution of self and society. In Kramer's analysis, compositional processes usually understood in formal or emotive terms reappear as active forces in the work of cultural formation. Thus Beethoven's last piano sonata, Op. 111, forms both a realization and a critique of Romantic utopianism; Liszt's Faust Symphony takes bourgeois gender ideology into a troubled embrace; Wagner's Tristan und Isolde articulates a basic change in the cultural construction of sexuality. Through such readings, Kramer works toward the larger conclusion that nineteenth-century European music is concerned as much to challenge as to exemplify an ideology of organic unity and subjective wholeness. Anyone interested in music, literary criticism, or nineteenth-century culture will find this book pertinent and provocative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is Schoenberg's last completed theoretical work and represents his final thoughts on the subject of classical and romantic harmony. The earlier chapters recapitulate in condensed form the principles laid down in his 'Theory of Harmony'; the later chapters break entirely new ground, for they analyze the system of key relationships within the structure of whole movements and affirm the principle of 'monotonality, ' showing how all modulations within a movement are merely deviations from, and not negations of, its main tonality.
