The present essay addresses the double embodiment of Piano Trio No. 1 in B Major, Op. 8 by Johannes Brahms. The 1854 "original version" and the 1891 "revised version" symbolize distinct compositional periods in the life of the composer, whose lack of authoritative opinion toward the two Trios' relationship created complications. Today, appreciation of Brahms's B Major Trio in its first incarnation requires an effort of historical reconstruction, and for musicians steeped in his music, an ability to look beyond the imposing image of the replacement trio, a work from 1889 and published in 1891. My research seeks to restore the 1854 Trio to its position of prominence as Brahms's first ambitious work of chamber music. This research extends to an exploration of Brahms's aesthetic environment during the early 1850s, from his poetic affinity with E.T.A. Hoffmann and his alter ego Johannes Kreisler to the artistic influence of Robert and Clara Schumann. The disparity between the two Trios suggests that "revision" is an inadequate description of Brahms's far-reaching reshaping of the original work. The aging composer's emphasis on structural cohesion resulted in passages from three of the four original movements being substantially compressed or removed. While the re-envisioned version is economical and thematically compact, the original version possesses its own remarkable qualities: ambitious scope, diverse musical material, and potent allusiveness that encourages a different approach to analysis and performance. By examining the shared and divergent elements of both Trios, I aim to clarify their relationship, cast light on stylistic and historical factors, and promote a heightened appreciation of the music for performers and interpreters. A link to my lecture recital from May 2022, including performances of the first movement of the 1854 Trio and the complete 1891 Trio, can be found at the following link: httpss://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFytCe10bOM. These performances are intimately connected to my dissertation, as parts of a larger effort to integrate artistic practice and scholarly research.

As one of the most significant and widely performed composers of the nineteenth century, Brahms continues to command our attention. Rethinking Brahms counterbalances prevailing scholarly assumptions that position him as a conservative composer (whether musically or politically) with a wide-ranging exploration and re-evaluation of his significance today. Drawing on German- and English-language scholarship, it deploys original approaches to his music and pursues innovative methodologies to interrogate the historical, cultural, and artistic contexts of his creativity. Empowered by recent theoretical work on form and tonality, it offers fresh analytical insights into his music, including a number of corpus studies that interrogate the relationships between Brahms and other composers, past and present. The book brings into sharp focus the productive tension that exists between the perceived fixedness of musical texts and the ephemerality of performance by considering how historical and modern performers shape established understandings of Brahms and his music. Rethinking Brahms invites the reader to hear familiar pieces anew as they are refracted through historical, artistic, and philosophical prisms. Bringing us up to the present day, it also gives sustained attention to the resounding impact of Brahms's compositions on new music by exploring works by recent composers who have engaged deeply with his oeuvre. Combining awareness of overarching contexts with perceptive insights into Brahms's music, this book enlivens our understanding of Brahms, providing a dynamic, multifaceted, complex, and invigoratingly fresh portrait of the composer.

With their insistence that form is a dialectical process in the music of Beethoven, Theodor Adorno and Carl Dahlhaus emerge as the guardians of a long-standing critical tradition in which Hegelian concepts have been brought to bear on the question of musical form. Janet Schmalfeldt's ground-breaking account of the development of this Beethoven-Hegelian tradition restores to the term "form" some of its philosophical associations in the early nineteenth century, when profound cultural changes were yielding new relationships between composers and their listeners, and when music itself-in particular, instrumental music-became a topic for renewed philosophical investigation. Precedents for Adorno's and Dahlhaus's concept of form as process arise in the Athenäum Fragments of Friedrich Schlegel and in the Encyclopaedia Logic of Hegel. The metaphor common to all these sources is the notion of becoming; it is the idea of form coming into being that this study explores in respect to music by Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Chopin, and Schumann. A critical assessment of Dahlhaus's preoccupation with the opening of Beethoven's "Tempest" Sonata serves as the author's starting point for the translation of philosophical ideas into music-analytical terms-ones that encourage listening "both forward and backward," as Adorno has recommended. Thanks to the ever-growing familiarity of late eighteenth-century audiences with formal conventions, composers could increasingly trust that performers and listeners would be responsive to striking formal transformations. The author's analytic method strives to capture the dynamic, quasi-narrative nature of such transformations, rather than only their end results. This experiential approach to the perception of form invites listeners and especially performers to participate in the interpretation of processes by which, for example, a brooding introduction-like opening must inevitably become the essential main theme in Schubert's Sonata, Op. 42, or in which tremendous formal expansions in movements by Mendelssohn offer a dazzling opportunity for multiple retrospective reinterpretations. Above all, In the Process of Becoming proposes new ways of hearing beloved works of the romantic generation as representative of their striving for novel, intensely self-reflective modes of communication.
