Despite the incredible diversity in Brahms's scherzo-type
movements, there has been no comprehensive consideration of this
aspect of his oeuvre. Professor Ryan McClelland provides an
in-depth study of these movements that also contributes
significantly to an understanding of Brahms's compositional
language and his creative dialogue with musical traditions.
McClelland especially highlights the role of rhythmic-metric design
in Brahms's music and its relationship to expressive meaning. In
Brahms's scherzo-type movements, McClelland traces transformations
of primary thematic material, demonstrating how the relationship of
the initial music to its subsequent versions creates a musical
narrative that provides structural coherence and generates
expressive meaning. McClelland's interpretations of the expressive
implications of Brahms's fascinatingly intricate musical structures
frequently engage issues directly relevant to performance. This
illuminating book will appeal to music theorists, musicologists
working on nineteenth-century instrumental music and performers.
