Summary: "Mezzotints in Modern Music" by James Huneker is a collection of essays on notable composers and their contributions to music, likely written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the complexities and philosophies of various musicians, including Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Richard Strauss, Liszt, and Wagner, discussing their styles, influences, and the evolution of music during their eras. Through these essays, Huneker presents an exploration of musical expression, structured form, and emotional depth, offering insights into both the technical and artistic merits of these composers. The opening of the book begins with a reflection on the significance of Johannes Brahms following his death, establishing him as a monumental figure in the landscape of music. Huneker explores Brahms' profound contribution to various musical forms, highlighting his dedication to structure and intellectual rigor while acknowledging the emotional depth embedded in his compositions. The text presents Brahms not as an aloof master but as a deeply human artist, whose works resonate with the experiences and emotions of life. The commentary leads into discussions about Brahms' contrasting relationships with other contemporaneous musicians, setting the stage for a broader examination of the evolving musical scene of the time.
