  • Brahms, Johannes (B Hamburg, 7 May 1833; D Vienna, 3 April 1897)
    Brahms, Johannes (b Hamburg, 7 May 1833; d Vienna, 3 April 1897). German composer. The successor to Beethoven and Schubert in the larger forms of chamber and orchestral music, to Schubert and Schumann in the miniature forms of piano pieces and songs, and to the Renaissance and Baroque polyphonists in choral music, Brahms creatively synthesized the practices of three centuries with folk and dance idioms and with the language of mid­ and late 19th­century art music. His works of controlled passion, deemed reactionary and epigonal by some, progressive by others, became well accepted in his lifetime. 1. Formative years. 2. New paths. 3. First maturity. 4. At the summit. 5. Final years and legacy. 6. Influence and reception. 7. Piano and organ music. 8. Chamber music. 9. Orchestral works and concertos. 10. Choral works. 11. Lieder and solo vocal ensembles. WORKS BIBLIOGRAPHY GEORGE S. BOZARTH (1–5, 10–11, work­list, bibliography), WALTER FRISCH (6– 9, 10, work­list, bibliography) Brahms, Johannes 1. Formative years. Brahms was the second child and first son of Johanna Henrika Christiane Nissen (1789–1865) and Johann Jakob Brahms (1806–72). His mother, an intelligent and thrifty woman simply educated, was a skilled seamstress descended from a respectable bourgeois family. His father came from yeoman and artisan stock that originated in lower Saxony and resided in Holstein from the mid­18th century. A resourceful musician of modest talent, Johann Jakob learnt to play several instruments, including the flute, horn, violin and double bass, and in 1826 moved to the free Hanseatic port of Hamburg, where he earned his living playing in dance halls and taverns.

HEINZE IN GRATEFUL APPRECIATION — Preface The man who perpetrates a new book upon the long- suffering public owes that public an apology. Mine which I trust will suffice—is that there does not exist in the English language, so far as I am aware, a complete up-to-date biography of Brahms. This little volume is an attempt to supply the deficiency. The work was conceived and carried out as a labour of love, and was meant to give to our English-speaking public a correct idea, so far as could be gathered from the writings of those who knew, of the principal facts concerning the character and achievements of one whom all must acknowledge as a Master Artist. To the authors of the works which have been consulted in the preparation of this book (the list to be exhaustive would be exhausting as well) I desire to extend my acknowledgment for the aid I have derived from them.

This three-day event brings together more than 40 participants from as close as the greater metropolitan region of our host city of New York to as far as Sydney, Australia. The range of topics for scholarly consideration is similarly broad with presentations devoted to Brahms’s life and his relationships with key figures of his circle, performance practice and reception history, newly discovered correspondence, and, not least, engagement with the musical intricacies, expressive potentials, and cultural milieu of Brahms’s wondrous compositions. An event such as this does not come together without the considerable effort of many individuals. As a small token of appreciation, I would like to recognize their contributions here. First, thanks are due to the members of the Program Committee for which I served as Chair: Walter Frisch of Columbia University, Ryan Minor of Stony Brook University, and Heather Platt of Ball State University.

  • Johannes Brahms and the Railway: a Composer and Steam
    Volume XXX, Number 1 Spring 2012 Johannes Brahms and the Railway: A Composer and Steam Every day at 12:37 p.m., EuroCity 177, the “Johannes Brahms,” leaves the Berlin-Gesundbrunnen train station for Vienna, Austria.1 It is not at all unusual for a railway route to bear a composer’s name; persons of significance are often honored this way in the European rail network. But is there more to this particular naming than meets the eye? What of Johannes Brahms and the railway? Certainly Brahms was, by virtue of his birth year, no stranger to the age of steam. In Germany the first railway began service in 1835; in Austria, it was 1837.2 An overview of Brahms’s correspondence and biographical writings shows no expression of concerns, fears, or complaints about train travel.3 On the contrary, his comments seem to indicate that he found it to be a comfortable experience, even though, according to Jan Swafford, he chose to travel in second class, the “comfortable but simple” middle of the three main ticketed classes of those days.4 For example, in a letter he wrote from Vienna to George Henschel in May 1881, Brahms advised Henschel that he would be in the Viennese suburb of Pressbaum (24 kms. distance) that summer, observing, “I shall be only a short distance away by rail, which, however, I always travel with great pleasure.”5 But in Brahms’s comments on train travel there is, at times, a more plaintive thread. This is particularly true in letters to his stepmother Karoline, and is illustrated by his use of the phrase Brahms at home in Vienna in 1892.

  • University of Nevada, Reno Hungarian Romani Influence On
    University of Nevada, Reno Hungarian Romani Influence on German Lieder: A Historical Analysis of Johannes Brahms’ Zigeunerlieder for the Solo Performer A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance and the Honors Program by Jenna L. Sims Dr. Albert R. Lee, Thesis Advisor August, 2016 UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA THE HONORS PROGRAM RENO We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by Jenna Leigh Sims entitled Hungarian Romani Influence on German Lieder: A Historical Analysis of Johannes Brahms’ Zigeunerlieder for the Solo Performer be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Music, Applied Music: Voice _____________________________________________ Albert R. Lee, D.M., Thesis Advisor ______________________________________________ Tamara Valentine, Ph.D., Director, Honors Program, August, 2016 i Abstract When a professional vocalist prepares to execute a piece of music, there are many different aspects of that music that he or she must consider in order to present a detailed, expressive performance. Among these aspects are who wrote the piece and why, in what language the text is written, the proper pronunciation of the text if it is not in the performer’s native tongue, and the historical context in which the piece was composed (and if that influences the meaning of the composition). All of this knowledge must be combined with accurate musicality to produce a skillful execution of the work. This is true for Brahms’ Zigeunerlieder- a song cycle comprised of Hungarian love poems and written in the style hongrois. The style hongrois is a musical discipline developed during the Romantic era of Western classical music and is aimed at mimicking the musical and expressing the cultural attributes of the Hungarian Roma.
