"This brilliant and magisterial book is a very good bet

to...become the definitive study of Johannes Brahms."--The Plain

Dealer

Judicious, compassionate, and full of insight into Brahms's human

complexity as well as his music, Johannes Brahms is an

indispensable biography.

Proclaimed the new messiah of Romanticism by Robert Schumann when

he was only twenty, Johannes Brahms dedicated himself to a long and

extraordinarily productive career. In this book, Jan Swafford sets

out to reveal the little-known Brahms, the boy who grew up in

mercantile Hamburg and played piano in beer halls among prostitutes

and drunken sailors, the fiercely self-protective man who thwarted

future biographers by burning papers, scores and notebooks late in

his life. Making unprecedented use of the remaining archival

material, Swafford offers richly expanded perspectives on Brahms's

youth, on his difficult romantic life--particularly his

longstanding relationship with Clara Schumann--and on his

professional rivalry with Lizst and Wagner.

"[Johannes Brahms] will no doubt stand as the definitive work on

Brahms, one of the monumental biographies in the entire musical

library."--London Weekly Standard

"It is a measure of the accomplishment of Jan Swafford's

biography that Brahms's sadness becomes palpable.... [Swafford]

manages to construct a full-bodied human being."--The New York

Times Book Review

In his maturity, his art would be marked by a reconciliation of elements that would seem irreconcilable had he not resolved them so magnificently, so nearly seamlessly.

Brahms's music amounted to this: passion constrained within abstraction, personal anguish dissolved in impersonal form. Before that, the Lokale taught him something in the direction of the same lesson, in a more soul-searing way: Hide! He would live as a revered master with something to hide. In and out of music, he would become adept at masking his feelings, his identity.

书籍介绍

The New York Times Book Review, Edward Rothstein

It is a measure of the accomplishment of Jan Swafford's biography of Brahms that ... sadness becomes palpable. Though Johannes Brahms: A Biography would have been still more of an accomplishment if its author had been as ruthless in pruning as Brahms was, it manages ... to construct a full-bodied human being in the midst of it ambling meticulousness. Swafford retains the genre's requisite wonder ... tempered with a skeptical imagination.... --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
