{"product_id":"9781316054222","title":"Brahms in the Home and the Concert Hall: Between Private and Public Performance","description":"Johannes Brahms was a consummate professional musician, a successful pianist, conductor, music director, editor and composer. Yet he also faithfully championed the world of private music-making, creating many works and arrangements for enjoyment in the home by amateurs. This collection explores Brahms' public and private musical identities from various angles: the original works he wrote with amateurs in mind; his approach to creating piano arrangements of not only his own, but also other composers' works; his relationships with his arrangers; the deeper symbolism and lasting legacy of private music-making in his day; and a hitherto unpublished memoir which evokes his Viennese social world. Using Brahms as their focus point, the contributors trace the overlapping worlds of public and private music-making in the nineteenth century, discussing the boundaries between the composer's professional identity and his lifelong engagement with amateur music-making.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133577707760,"sku":"9781316054222","price":96.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781316054222_p0.jpg?v=1763707222","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781316054222","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
