Despite the incredible diversity in Brahms”s scherzo-type movements, there has been no comprehensive consideration of this aspect of his oeuvre. Professor Ryan Mc Clelland 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. Mc Clelland especially highlights the role of rhythmic-metric design in Brahms”s music and its relationship to expressive meaning. In Brahms”s scherzo-type movements, Mc Clelland 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. Mc Clelland”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.
