Brahms in Context offers a fresh perspective on the much-admired
nineteenth-century German composer. Including thirty-nine chapters
on historical, social and cultural contexts, the book brings
together internationally renowned experts in music, law, science,
art history and other areas, including many figures whose work is
appearing in English for the first time. The essays are accessibly
written, with short reading lists aimed at music students and
educators. The book opens with personal topics including Brahms's
Hamburg childhood, his move to Vienna, and his rich social life. It
considers professional matters from finance to publishing and
copyright; the musicians who shaped and transmitted his works; and
the larger musical styles which influenced him. Casting the net
wider, other essays embrace politics, religion, literature,
philosophy, art, and science. The book closes with chapters on
reception, including recordings, historical performance, his
compositional legacy, and a reflection on the power of composer
myths.
