ABOUT THIS SET:
The life of Brahms is the most realistic, truthful, and authentic biography of this composer ever written. This most intimate account of Brahms' life could only have been written by one person, and that person is Florence May. She was a piano student and friend of both Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms. This enabled her to come into constant contact with both musicians, as well as their intimate friends. That intimacy with the innermost group of Brahms' associates enabled her to write the most complete biography of her friend and mentor and allows us to enter his world and enjoy some startling insights that make the reader feel as if he were part of his world.(Publisher). Very good. Item #15738
