Mason quote

[edit]

Hrm... indeed, which page? There is an entire chapter Google-preview-readable, devoted to this trio (chapter 8, starts here, pp.77-86) in Mason's book, but the quote about recovery from mourning appears nowhere within it. Somewhere else in the book? Some other book? Schissel | Sound the Note! 05:29, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I know it's two years after, but I've located two works with the title "The Chamber Music of Brahms" on the Internet archive, first is Mason's book from 1933:

There is also a book from 1932 by Henry S. Drinker:

I plan to check these after Christmas.

Possible sources

[edit]

The line: * The Adagio from the Horn Trio is said to be one of Brahms’ most impassioned and heartfelt slow movements.* may have been a paraphrase of this line from Mason 1933: *The Adagio mesto is one of the most profoundly felt and one of the most subtly composed of all the slow movements of Brahms.*

The line reading: *The joy felt in the Finale symbolizes the recovery at the end of mourning.* does not appear to be related to anything in Mason 1933, I have flagged it as WP:OR. Graham1973 (talk) 01:01, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
