On Brahms and His Circle
The present volume, edited by George S. Bozarth, brings together essays, articles, and program notes on Brahms written by Karl Geiringer between 1933 and his death. As such it constitutes a companion volume to Geiringer's classic "life and works" study of Brahms, co-authored with his first wife, Irene. The research has been updated and provided with context through footnotes and editorial postscripts. The articles in German have been translated into English and letters to and from Brahms that Geiringer published only in English translation have had their original German texts added.

Brahms and the Scherzo
Despite the incredible diversity in Brahms's scherzo-type movements, there has been no comprehensive consideration of this aspect of his oeuvre. Professor Ryan McClelland provides an in-depth study of these movements that also contributes significantly to an understanding of Brahms's compositional language and his creative dialogue with musical traditions. McClelland especially highlights the role of rhythmic-metric design in Brahms's music and its relationship to expressive meaning. In Brahms's scherzo-type movements, McClelland traces transformations of primary thematic material, demonstrating how the relationship of the initial music to its subsequent versions creates a musical narrative that provides structural coherence and generates expressive meaning. McClelland's interpretations of the expressive implications of Brahms's fascinatingly intricate musical structures frequently engage issues directly relevant to performance. This illuminating book will appeal to music theorists, musicologists working on nineteenth-century instrumental music and performers.
