’Pascal’s knowledge of Brahms and his works is encyclopedic. Anyone reading this monograph will encounter carefully outlined arguments based on the letters of Brahms and his friends and contemporaries, and based as well on detailed analysis of the music. This monograph is highly recommended for libraries serving graduate musicology and theory departments.’ Music Reference Services Quarterly 'The book presents a welcome alternative to the proliferation of studies that conceptualize Brahms’s musical historicism primarily in terms of thematic allusion. Here an innovative topic is combined with careful, detailed analysis to produce an insightful and illuminating interpretation of Brahms’s compositional strategies.' Notes '... a concise, personal overview of Brahms’s lifework ... It is useful to have all of Pascall’s work on this project in one volume, and one can hope that it will inspire further discussion of the issues raised by this sort of musicological endeavour'.
