Karl Geiringer's biography of Brahms is generally regarded as the
finest study of the composer ever published in any language. It is
based upon the great body of material in the archives of the
Viennese Society of Friends, for which Dr. Geiringer was curator
from 1930-1938, and which contains more than a thousand letters
written by and to Brahms. These letters, exchanged with family and
with his famous contemporaries, reveal his loneliness, grim humor,
loyalty, painful shyness, and enthusiasm for the music of Beethoven
and Schubert--moods that the self-effacing composer did not
publicly display. Divided into sections on Brahms's solitary,
scholarly existence and his fruitful composing career--including
examinations of rare first drafts--the biography relates how crises
in Brahms's personal life were translated into his music, and how
he often managed to ignore or suppress them. Supplemented with a
new appendix on "Brahms as a Reader and Collector," this third
edition of a classic biography is both a literary and musicological
event.
