This book is the definitive guide to Johannes Brahms's four
symphonies. It presents an engaging and thorough treatment of the
genesis, structure, reception, and performance history of these
internationally admired and frequently performed works. Walter
Frisch provides a sensitive analytical commentary on the symphonies
as well as a consideration of their place within Brahms's oeuvre,
within the symphonic repertory of his day, and within the broader
musical culture of nineteenth-century Germany and Austria. Frisch
also pays particular attention to the evolution of performance
style since Brahms's symphonies were first heard. The book begins
with an investigation of the different ideologies of the symphony
in the decades leading up to Brahms's First. Brahms's early
development as a composer is also examined. Frisch then devotes a
detailed chapter to each of the four symphonies, including an
in-depth analysis of each movement. A separate chapter treats the
reception of Brahms's symphonies, and the book concludes with a
history of the performances of the symphonies in the concert hall
and in early recordings.
