Lieder and the rise of song recital in the United States,
1850–1914 Though viewed as quintessentially German, lieder became
a centerpiece of nineteenth century song recitals in the United
States. By the 1890s, these songs, which were often sung in
English, were a sensation among tutored and untutored music lovers
alike. Heather Platt examines the varied supporters and singers who
both established the lied as a concert repertoire and shaped a new
kind of recital dedicated to art songs. Lieder were embraced and
spread by performers like Max Heinrich and advocates like John
Sullivan Dwight, as well as by the women’s clubs that flourished
nationwide. At the same time as examining the critical reception of
the artists and songs, Platt reveals ways in which US recital
programs anticipated trends in European recitals. She also places
lieder against the backdrop of the time, when factors like the
growth in the sheet music industry, the evolution of American art
song, and emerging anti-German feeling had a profound impact on the
genre’s popularity.

Contributors to this exciting new volume examine the
intersection of structure and meaning in Brahms's music, utilizing
a wide range of approaches, from the theories of Schenker to the
most recent analytical techniques. They combine various viewpoints
with the semiotic-based approaches of Robert Hatten, and address
many of the most important genres in which Brahms composed. The
essays reveal the expressive power of a work through the comparison
of specific passages in one piece to similar works and through
other artistic realms such as literature and painting. The result
of this intertextual re-framing is a new awareness of the
meaningfulness of even Brahms s most "absolute" works."
