Crossing Paths: Schubert, Schumann, and Brahms
Daverio, The late John (Professor and Chair of Music, Professor and Chair of Music, Boston University)
In Crossing Paths, John Daverio explores the connections between art and life in the works of three giants of musical romanticism. Drawing on contemporary critical theory and a wide variety of nineteenth-century sources, he considers topics including Schubert and Schumann's uncanny ability to evoke memory in music, the supposed cryptographic practices of Schumann and Brahms, and the allure of the Hungarian Gypsy style for Brahms and others in the Schumanncircle. Daverio portrays the book's three key players as musical storytellers, each in his own way simulating the structure of lived experience in works of art.
