Book Description
Johannes Brahms never procured a concerto for viola or clarinet. Curious minds yearn to know what one might sound like if he had. The closest approximation of such a piece is Brahms's Opus 120 sonatas for clarinet/viola and piano. A daring arranger with a keen knowledge about Brahmsian style might be able to orchestrate the piano part of the sonatas thus rendering a type of concerto. The Los Angeles Philharmonic commissioned Luciano Berio to do just that. Berio's style of composition distinguishes him as a great proponent of collage technique, and his orchestration of Johannes Brahms's Op. 120 No. 1 Sonata in F Minor for Clarinet or Viola resides in a comfortable middle ground between Brahmsian authenticity and personal creative liberty. Analysis of Brahms's style of texture and orchestration reveals key challenges Berio likely encountered during the arranging process and allows us to judge the quality of his solutions. All of this information should be of utmost importance to prospective performers of this nearly forgotten arrangement and to the scholarly community of both Berio and Brahms.

Book Description
Johannes Brahms was one of the first composers to appreciate fully the viola2s potential, allowing the instrument a chance to shine in his chamber music. Although Brahms2 Two Sonatas in f-minor and E-flat major, Op. 120, were originally written for clarinet and piano, they are also greatly loved in the viola repertoire. Upon examination of the clarinet and viola versions of the sonatas, Brahms seems to have been keenly aware of the potential of each instrument. He intentionally sought different effects for these two instruments by composing two different versions. Each version is different not only with regard to its tone color or timbre, but also regarding practical techniques, such as vibrato, lip pressure, leap shifting, volume, and range. In my document, I will observe the differences between the clarinet and the viola versions, especially focusing on the unique characteristics of the each instrument. Then I will investigate why Brahms made such alterations for the viola, and I will also discuss how and why identical passages can sound and be expressed differently according to the instrument. In the first part of my document, I will provide a short historical background of the Op. 120 sonatas. I will also identify some of the composer2s musical idiosyncrasies, concentrating especially on his chamber music and his high regard for the role of the clarinet and the viola in these works. Secondly, I will compare the clarinet and viola versions of these sonatas and point out the possible reasons for the differences between these versions. Finally, the third part will focus on how identical passages can be heard and expressed differently according to each instrument.

Pages : 585
Book Description
As one of the most significant and widely performed composers of the nineteenth century, Brahms continues to command our attention. Rethinking Brahms counterbalances prevailing scholarly assumptions that position him as a conservative composer (whether musically or politically) with a wide-ranging exploration and re-evaluation of his significance today. Drawing on German- and English-language scholarship, it deploys original approaches to his music and pursues innovative methodologies to interrogate the historical, cultural, and artistic contexts of his creativity. Empowered by recent theoretical work on form and tonality, it offers fresh analytical insights into his music, including a number of corpus studies that interrogate the relationships between Brahms and other composers, past and present. The book brings into sharp focus the productive tension that exists between the perceived fixedness of musical texts and the ephemerality of performance by considering how historical and modern performers shape established understandings of Brahms and his music. Rethinking Brahms invites the reader to hear familiar pieces anew as they are refracted through historical, artistic, and philosophical prisms. Bringing us up to the present day, it also gives sustained attention to the resounding impact of Brahms's compositions on new music by exploring works by recent composers who have engaged deeply with his oeuvre. Combining awareness of overarching contexts with perceptive insights into Brahms's music, this book enlivens our understanding of Brahms, providing a dynamic, multifaceted, complex, and invigoratingly fresh portrait of the composer.
