This book examines the evolution of the symphony in the 19th century, moving past the dominance of Beethoven's nine symphonies to explore the works of later composers. The author argues that Beethoven's symphonies created a high watermark that subsequent composers struggled to surpass, and many of them sought to explore other avenues, from the "neoclassical" style of Mendelssohn to the programmatic works of Richard Strauss. The author explores the social and cultural changes of the Romantic era in Germany and Austria and how they shaped the work of later symphonists like Schumann, Brahms, and Bruckner. The book concludes that the symphony in the later 19th century became less a vehicle for pure musical expression and more a way for composers to explore philosophical and literary ideas.
