Nicole Grimes provides a compellingly fresh perspective on a series
of Brahms's elegiac works by bringing together the disciplines of
historical musicology, German studies, and cultural history. Her
exploration of the expressive potential of Schicksalslied, Nanie,
Gesang der Parzen, and the Vier ernste Gesange reveals the
philosophical weight of this music. She considers the German
tradition of the poetics of loss that extends from the
late-eighteenth-century texts by Hoelderlin, Schiller and Goethe
set by Brahms, and includes other philosophical and poetic works
present in his library, to the mid-twentieth-century aesthetics of
Adorno, who was preoccupied as much by Brahms as by their shared
literary heritage. Her multifaceted focus on endings - the end of
tonality, the end of the nineteenth century, and themes of loss in
the music - illuminates our understanding of Brahms and lateness,
and the place of Brahms in the fabric of modernist culture.
