Description
Explore the evolution of a musical era in The German Symphony between Beethoven and Brahms: The Fall and Rise of a Genre. Published by Routledge, this work examines the period often described by Carl Dahlhaus as "dead time" between the eras of Schumann and Brahms. Christopher Fifield challenges existing perspectives by arguing that many symphonies previously dismissed as insignificant actually made important contributions to the genre. The book traces the origins of these musical challenges back to Beethoven's ninth symphony. This landmark work set a standard that influenced and intimidated subsequent composers such as Schubert, Mendelssohn, and Schumann. Fifield analyzes how the expectations of audiences and the musical press forced the symphonic form to rise in response to the standards established in 1824. This text provides a detailed look at the development and survival of the symphonic tradition during a transformative period in classical music history.
