Book Synopsis


Trade Review

Worth a read for Brahms devotees, even those without advanced music theory knowledge. . . . Recommended.

* Choice *

This is a wonderfully musical book with many valuable insights (and many generously long music examples). It will be useful to Brahms scholars, of course, but also to those who study music from roughly 1780 to the early twentieth century.
