Johannes Brahms: A Biography

I received this book as a gift and haven't read it yet but I am sure I will really like it because I have read other books about composers by this author.

A very good account of Brahms' life and of his music. Intelligently written and perceptive about a complex man and his complex psychology.

Gostei muito. Valeu a pera! Recomendo.

Swafford's book was purchased because his later biography of Beethoven is already a valued item in my library. I was not disappointed. As with tge Beethoven, Swafford integrates life and works, with highly perceptive contributions on both. The index is useful because you can home in on individual works.Second hand but in very good condition.

A complete biography able to cover all sides of Brahms: musical, cultural, historical and domestic. Nothing less than all, nothing to add.
