![]() ![]() It is almost like getting two biographies in one as Clara Schumann is intertwined in so many ways in Johannes Brahms life, especially after the tragic death of her husband, Robert Schumann. This is a wonderful book about the complex Johannes Brahms on his life and compositions, many of which Swafford explains in professional detail. I would not actually recommend this for someone who has no interest in classical music or Brahms, as there is much technical information on his compositions and much discussion of the composers during Brahms life and before in this long book. ![]() Jan Swafford įor fans of Brahms or aficionados of classical music, I recommend this book. The author is also an American composer and musicologist who has written biographies on many of the great composers besides Brahms, such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Charles Ives. Swafford titles it simply, “Johannes Brahms: A Biography”. I just finished a very good non-fiction biography of the German Romantic Era composer/pianist/conductor, Johannes Brahms, by Jan Swafford. ![]()
