Document Summary

Liszt developed the symphonic poem, trying to express a poetic idea. Effect on the new generation, russia and bohemia, the form becomes very popular. Ideas of programmatic music are championed, music that goes beyond music and expressive more. Concert tour and brahms met liszt for the first time. They clashed and he left after 2-3 weeks. Liszt championed everyone else"s music but never touched brahms. Brahms went to schumann"s house and meets them (schumann is near his nervous breakdown), brahms played his sonata and this was the start of their friendship. Schubert, beethoven and brahms was influenced greatly by this. Year later schumann went crazy and he was placed in an asylum (died there from starvation). Only saw brahms, clara saw him the day before he died. Brahms takes on the burden of the integrity of german music: music that returns to the classical mode of composition. Music that is rigorous, motivic development and form.
