About the Book

As an influential and well-connected composer, Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) had encountered, befriended, and collaborated with hundreds of people over his significant career. In Brahms and His World: A Biographical Dictionary, author Peter Clive provides extensive and up-to-date information on the composer's personal and professional association with some 430 persons. These persons include relatives, friends, acquaintances, and physicians; fellow musicians and composers whom Brahms particularly admired and in the editions of whose works he was involved; conductors, instrumentalists, and singers who took part in notable or first performances of his works; poets whose texts he set to music; publishers and artists; and even the rulers of certain German states with whom he had significant contact. Offering information not usually available in Brahms biographies, this volume combines findings from both primary and secondary sources, giving insights into Brahms' character, his life, and his career, and shedding light on the educated middle and upper class culture of the nineteenth century. A comprehensive chronology of Brahms' life, a bibliography, and two indexes round out this important reference guide.

Review :
Clive continues his triumphal march through the personalia of central European music....The entries are models of research...Highly recommended. ...a fascinating book....It should be part of reference divisions of schools of music, and university and college libraries. Brahms and His World will be of interest to all musicians and historians, as well as to lovers of the music of Brahms. ...[a] unique, encyclopedia-like reference work....an excellent source on Brahms's milieu.... Recommended for all libraries, especially academic ones. This biographical dictionary covers approximately 430 people associated with composer Johannes Brahms, including relatives and friends, physicians, conductors, artists, poets, rulers, and fellow composers and musicians, such as the Schumanns, Schubert, Rubinstein, Nietzsche, Ibsen, Liszt, Bizet, and the publishers Breitkopf and Härtel. Presented alphabetically, the entries contain dates and places of birth and death, biographical information, and a discussion of how each person was linked to the composer. A chronology of Brahms' life and indexes of names and works are provided.
