| Description: |
Traditionally, Brahms's so-called late period is restricted to his chamber music and other final works from the 1890s, with some compositions from the mid-1880s signalling the beginning of his late style. In Lateness and Brahms, Margaret Notley examines the stylistic and a historical category of 'lateness' as it relates to this nineteenth century Viennese composer. She looks at Brahms's place in narratives of lateness in both music and social history, alongwith critics' perceptions of a late style in his lifework. |
| Synopsis: |
Lateness and Brahms takes up the fascinating, yet understudied problem of how Brahms fits into the culture of turn-of-the-century Vienna. Brahms's conspicuous and puzzling absence in previous scholarly accounts of the time and place raises important questions, and as Margaret Notley demonstrates, the tendency to view him in neutralized, historical terms has made his music seem far less interesting than it truly is. In pursuit of an historical Brahms, Notley focuses on the later chamber music, drawing on various documents and perspectives, but with particular emphasis on the relevance of Western Marxist critical traditions. |
