Omschrijving :     Brahms's Song Collections
door Inge van Rij
 
Tekst achterop :     Brahms’s Song Collections
Brahms once complained that singers never performed his songs in the
groups in which he had published them, which he likened to ‘song bouquets’.
Over a century later,many singers andmusicologists continue to
ignore Brahms’s wishes and focus on the individual songs rather than
the bouquet groups. This is the first detailed study of the implications of
Brahms’s comments. Following an examination of contemporary aesthetic
and generic frameworks, the book traces Brahms’s Lieder from
their conception, to the arrangement into bouquets, to performance
and reception, and examines the sometimes contradictory roles played
by poet, composer, performer and recipient in creating coherence in
song collections. An investigation of the graphic cycles ofMax Klinger
reveals a startling visual analogue of Brahms’s conception of the song
bouquet, and a final examination of the evidence of Brahms’s aesthetic
outlook reveals that his intentions may have been cyclic in more than
one sense.
