This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Size: 8 1/2" x 11" * * * * * * From the biographical introductory. SOME composers resemble certain people that we meet and dislike at first sight. For many, musicians as well as amateurs, Brahms is such a composer. At his best in his piano music he often repels. After the poetic tenderness and chivalric fire of Chopin, the overflowing romance of Schumann, the adorable melody of Schubert, and the proud pose of Weber, who prances by on gorgeously caparisoned arpeggios, Brahms may sound chilly and formal; but strip him of his harsh rind, taste the richness of the musical fruit, and your indifference will be transformed into admiration, perhaps love. It would be easy to map out three styles in the Brahms piano literature as De Lenz did with the sonatas of Beethoven, but it would be a futile effort; although Brahms gained in mastery as he grew older, he was more Brahms in his Op. 1 than was Chopin in his La Ci Darem variations. Take, for example, the E-flat minor Scherzo, Op. 4, which Brahms played for Schumann during the historical visit to Düsseldorf. It has in it a nuance of Chopin, rather in the color than the ideas, and it is so free, flowing, plastic, and so happily worked out, that it must have sounded to both Schumann and Liszt as something quite novel. They saluted the composer as a recruit to the ranks of romanticism. This welcome they repented as Brahms went his own way, steering clear of the Wagner, Liszt, Schumann tendencies. And yet they were fundamentally correct in their judgments. The very core of Brahms is romantic. He may have inherited the polyphony of Bach, the symphonic mantle of Beethoven, but he is, nevertheless, a Romantic, and nowhere more so than in his piano music. This E-flat Scherzo is formal when compared to his Op. 1 16, 1 17, 1 18, and 1 19; even the Rhapsodies strike a newer note. Let us, without attempting an arbitrary classification, divide his piano music into two groups. In the first we may include the three sonatas, the E-flat Scherzo, all the Variations, the four Ballades, and the Waltzes, Op. 39. Then we must skip to Op. 76 before we encounter solo music, and might begin the second group with the eight Capriccios and Intermezzi. Follow the two Rhapsodies, and until Op. 1 16 we encounter no piano solos. With Op. 119 the contributions of Brahms to piano music end. There are two books of technical studies, fifty-one in all, the arrangements of the Hungarian dances and some special études on the themes of Bach, Weber, and Chopin, which need not concern us here. But this grouping should not pin down the composer to any definite scheme; for instance, in the second, the F-sharp minor Sonata, we find material that is kin to his last works, and some of his new Fantasies are a reversion to the Brahms of the Ballades. In 1853 Schumann wrote his article "New Paths" and Brahms became famous. The composer-critic recognized the strangeness of the young man; in the first bar of Brahms you are conscious of a new note, much as the opening of the C major Sonata may stem from the Hammerklavier Sonata of Beethoven. It is not alone in the form, this newness, not in the idea, not in the modulation, rhythmic variety, melodic curve, or curve of harmonic line, but in all these there lurks something individual. This individuality caused Schumann to rub his eyes in astonishment when he heard the Op. 1, the Sonata in C, and made Liszt grow enthusiastic when he read the E-flat minor Scherzo.....
