In Crossing Paths, John Daverio explores the connections between
art and life in the works of three giants of musical romanticism.
Drawing on contemporary critical theory and a wide variety of
nineteenth-century sources, he considers topics including Schubert
and Schumann's uncanny ability to evoke memory in music, the
supposed cryptographic practices of Schumann and Brahms, and the
allure of the Hungarian Gypsy style for Brahms and others in the
Schumann circle. This book offers a fresh perspective on the music
of these composers, including a comprehensive discussion of the
19th century practice of cryptography, a debunking of the myth that
Schumann and Brahms planted codes for "Clara Schumann" throughout
their works, and attention to the late works of Schumann not as
evidence of the composer's descent into madness but as inspiration
for his successors. Daverio portrays the book's three key players
as musical storytellers, each in his own way simulating the
structure of lived experience in works of art. As an intimate study
of three composers that combines cultural history and literary
criticism with deep musicological understanding, Crossing Paths is
a rich exploration of memory, the re-creation of artistic
tradition, and the value of artistic influence.
