- Summary:
- Beller-McKenna counters music historians's reluctance to address Brahms's Germanness, wary perhaps of fascist implications. He gives an account of the intertwining of nationalism, politics, and religion that underlies major works, and restores Brahms to his place in nineteenth-century Germany, enriching both our understanding both of his art and of German culture.
