HISTORICAL, DESCRIPTIVE AND ANALYTICAL ACCOUNT OF THE ENTIRE WORKS OF BRAHMS

BY

EDWIN EVANS (SENIOR)

The works are treated in the order of their opus number, and every single composition is dealt with exhaustively. No other work with such a wealth of detail exists in any language. The whole, being adequately indexed, forms a complete reference book for pianist, student and concert-goer, and may be described as monumental.

Of the CHAMBER AND ORCHESTRAL music, a minute analysis reaching to the rhythmical significance of each bar is given.

The analytical accounts of the PIANO works are each subdivided under the headings: Key; Time and Extent; Thematic Material; Melody; Harmony; Rhythm; etc.

The CHORAL works are dealt with in the fullest detail, and original English translations have been made to most of the SONGS.

Each volume is a self-contained unit and a complete textbook on its particular subject.

The value of the study of Wagner's prose writing as an education to the musical student cannot be over-estimated, and amongst these prose writings "Opera and Drama" may be considered his principal critical and theoretical production. Without a study of its contents no true and lasting understanding of opera can be arrived at.

Wagner writing to his friend Uhlig said:

"Here you have my testament; I may as well die now—anything further that I could do seems to me a useless piece of luxury."

ERNEST NEWMAN in "A Study of Wagner," writes: "Although there appears here and there in his prose-work something of the vast synthetic power of his musical imagination—such a work as 'Opera and Drama,' for instance, finally compelling our admiration for its tenacity of purpose and the breadth of vision that sweeps so far before and after."
