An interesting and excellent collection of essays. I personally found the articles written by Brahms' contemporaries to be the most illuminating. While some of the chapters are quite technical musically, there is much that is of great interest to the layperson.

Customer Review:
What a great book this is. Serious research, interesting cross-referencing, and many other great qualities. I have found a few errors in the musical examples. I hope someone already communicated with OUP regarding this, but there are wrong notes, and even wrong clefs(!) in some of the examples.
