Johannes A Research and Information Guide is an annotated bibliography concerning both the nature of primary sources related to the composer and the scope and significance of the secondary sources which deal with him, his compositions, and his influence as a composer and performer. The second edition will include research published since the publication of the first edition and provide electronic resources.Johannes Brahms’s (1833–1897) destiny was set by his early teens. His talent as a pianist and composer was already beginning to be recognized, and his interests in folk song, composers of the past centuries, and a diverse range of literature had taken hold. These interests would become lifelong passions and would influence many of his compositions and, of course, the ensuing research. For readers new to the field of Brahms research, we begin this volume in the Routledge Music Bibliography series with a biographical sketch, an overview of the research that has amassed on both the composer and his music, and a few words about how the following annotated bibliography was compiled and arranged.
