Brahms am Werk

This volume, printed in four colors throughout, is dedicated to various aspects of creative processes in the work of Johannes Brahms and impressively demonstrates them, not least through the numerous high-quality illustrations. The 15 contributions by renowned source researchers focus on Brahms not only as a composer, but also as an arranger of his own and others' works and as a dedicatee; in addition to the sources for the musical text, title pages and calendar entries also become the starting point for exciting explorations of the genesis of the work; with the critique génétique, current trends in literature and musicology are also introduced into Brahms research. A detailed index of persons and subjects rounds out this research overview, edited and decisively shaped by staff members of the Johannes Brahms Gesamtausgabe in Kiel.
