As the twentieth century approached, German and Austrian
dominance of Western music began to fade, giving way to a galaxy of voices from
France, Russia, Bohemia, and beyond. The late music of Brahms, emblematic of
German Romanticism, serves as an anchor in this program of music that
spotlights a cosmopolitan collection of composers of the era.
