Description
This collection of papers represents the proceedings of the International Brahms Conference held at the Library of Congress, Washington D.C. in 1983, the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth. The close attention both textual and analytical, that Brahms is currently receiving from scholars is reflected in the breadth and scope of these papers, whose authors include some of the foremost names in American, British, and German musical scholarship.
