Brahms once complained that singers never performed his songs in
the groups in which he had published them, which he likened to
'song bouquets'. Over a century later, many singers and
musicologists continue to ignore Brahms's wishes and focus on the
individual songs rather than the bouquet groups. This is a detailed
study of the implications of Brahms's comments. Following an
examination of contemporary aesthetic and generic frameworks, the
book traces Brahms's Lieder from their conception, to the
arrangement into bouquets, to performance and reception, and
examines the sometimes contradictory roles played by poet,
composer, performer and recipient in creating coherence in song
collections. An investigation of the graphic cycles of Max Klinger
reveals a startling visual analogue of Brahms's conception of the
song bouquet, and a final examination of the evidence of Brahms's
aesthetic outlook reveals that his intentions may have been cyclic
in more than one sense.
