Review
"Strongly recommended..."--Classical.net
"[T]his book offers great rewards for those interested in Brahms and his milieu. There is evidence of sensitive engagement with Brahms's music in every chapter, and the forays into biography and cultural history are generally entertaining and enlightening. Berry has made a significant contribution to the project of humanizing Brahms for twenty-first-century scholars and listeners."--Notes
