Singular Brahms! There are hardly any composers who moved through the history of music so laden with labels, crippled with debts and stamped with such diverse genealogies as he was. His place is central but it is intermediary: between Beethoven and Dvořák, between Classicism and Romanticism, between Haute Époque Vienna and fin-de-siècle Vienna. Brahms is also with Mozart against Wagner, with Schumann against Bruckner. He wears on his soles the mists of the North, the mysteries of a Romanticism from the forests and the Alps, but also the heritage of Roma wanderings and the Bohemianism of cabarets where improvisation emerges from the din of bock drinking. The very contours of Brahms's face are lost in these infinite affiliations, faded into a posterity that never ceases to capture or deny its heritage. All of this draws him away from us. We are in danger of no longer having ears to hear him; indifference and misunderstandings make us deaf to his voice. ...
