Undertaking a close analysis of the sources, the four chapters of this book show how our assumptions about what those composers desired are often in fact contingent on what we, their commentators, have wanted them to desire over the course of reception history. Beethovens <em>Fidelio</em> and Schuberts <em>Winterreise</em> tend to be regarded as a hymn to freedom, on the one hand, and an interior monologue of an alienated lover, on the other, though in neither case does such a view correspond to what the composer intended. In contrast, Richard Wagner dismissed his own opera <em>The Ban on Love</em> as a youthful indiscretion extolling the "free love" of the Young German movement; but he was reinterpreting an early work to align it with his later aesthetic.</p><p>The final chapter examines the chronology of the friendship of Robert and Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms in order to discern the likely truths about their triangular relationship before and after Robert Schumanns incarceration in a mental asylum. By adhering to the sources and placing them in the social, linguistic, and geographical contexts of their time, author Chris Walton grants all these protagonists a greater agency of desire than has hitherto been the case.</p>...7192461Music and Desire among the Austro-German Romantics584614https://www.gandhi.com.mx/music-and-desire-among-the-austro-german-romantics-9781805436911/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7204584/image.jpg?v=638854473655030000InStockMXN99999PR_DIEbook2025Inglés
