Romantic Poetry as Inspiration of Brahms : description and analysis of an early poem collection of the composer
10: Sibelius Academy, 2010. Hardcover. 208 pp. Author writes: "Brahms was the subject of my doctoral studies. The title of my Thesis was Romantic poetry as inspiration of Brahms. Description and analysis of the early poem collection of the composer. The translation work was supported by a generous scholarship of the Emil Aaltonen foundation. The thesis is about an early poem collection ("Gedichtsammlung") made by Brahms in 1853. It contains poems of 13 German poets of the romantic period. The poem selection is an unpublished document and there is very little research about it. Young Brahms had written his favourite poems down in the archaic German of the early 19th century and with German blackletter handwriting called Kurrent Script (later Sütterlin Script). Many of the symbols of this old handwriting differ so much from the script used in these days that for most people outside of Germany, as well as younger Germans, the Kurrent script is nowadays nearly illegible. I also started my research work by learning to read and write this script." Fine. Item #53
