N1  - Translation of: Johannes Brahms, der Zweite Symphonie.; Includes bibliographical references (p. [229]-236) and index
N2  - Though central to our concert and recording repertory, and crucial to the history of the symphony, the four symphonies of Johannes Brahms have proved surprisingly resistant to critical analysis. In this brief, elegant book, a premier musicologist conducts us through the Second Symphony to show us what is unique and remarkable about this particular work and what it reveals about the composer and his time
