The volume presents very well in its original glossy green wrappers. The binding is tight and square, with an uncreased spine suggesting it has remained largely unread. Externally, there is a minor crease to the top left corner of the rear wrapper alongside trivial rubbing to the lower extremities. Internally, the text block is exceptionally clean, bright, and completely free of foxing, thumbing, or any structural weakness, firmly justifying its strong grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"568\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is a 2006 reprint of the original 2004 edition, published in association with King's College London to commemorate its 175th anniversary. Edited by Christopher Wintle and featuring an introduction by Alexander Goehr, it was issued as part of the 'Poetics of Music' series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile softcover academic monographs of this highly specialised nature were printed in relatively small runs, this specific title remains scarce on the open market, particularly in such a well-preserved, unmarked state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"1088\"\u003eThe Variations of Johannes Brahms\u003c\/i\u003e offers an expansive and deeply analytical survey of Brahms’s variation sets, framing them as a microcosm of the composer's entire creative output. Author Julian Littlewood explores the tension between variation form and broader musical principles, guiding readers through themes of generic reference, textural control, and cyclical form. Aimed at performers, composers, and scholars alike, this comprehensive study unveils the technical mastery and poetic introspection that defined Brahms's approach to composition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55593571123539,"sku":"6435","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261019_120332.jpg?v=1792847148","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-variations-of-johannes-brahms-julian-littlewood","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
