520 a| The First English-Language Catalog of Brahms's music, The Compleat Brahms features discussions of nearly every one of the composer's works. Each piece or set of pieces is treated in a brief essay written by one of the thirty scholars, composers, and performers who have contributed to this collection. Edited by the noted conductor and educator Leon Botstein, The Compleat Brahms will appeal to all music lovers, whatever their level of familiarity with the composer's works. The contributors to the volume benefited greatly from the wealth of writings and scholarly exchanges devoted to Brahms's works and life inspired by the 1997 celebrations marking the centennial of his death. The essays thus reflect the diversity of late twentieth-century thinking about the composer. They vary in their coverage of musical form, structure, history, biography, and affect because each work is treated with the interpretive strategy most appropriate for that particular piece. Brahms has at times been unfairly labeled as a musical reactionary who looked only to the past while other composers--most notably Richard Wagner--forged new musical styles. Indeed, Brahms possessed an acute awareness of his predecessors--Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schumann in particular--revered their work, and accepted it as his own musical heritage. But rather than limiting his compositional ability, Brahms's attention to the past expanded his scope and resulted in works of remarkable ingenuity. An indispensable guide, The Compleat Brahms testifies to the composer's prodigous talent and provides a fascinating studdy of the artistic and social currents informing Brahms's work.;
