Like several of his predecessors, Brahms reintroduces themes from one movement into a later one in several of his instrumental works. Historical circumstances and changing historical consciousness affected a composer's use of thematic recall. For Beethoven (per Elaine Sisman) recalling an earlier theme provided the creative stimulus to move forward to the end of a piece, in accordance with the linear concept of history that defined Beethoven's Enlightenment world view. Brahms's use of inter-movement thematic recall often expresses a more wistful and melancholy view of the past and focuses on the ability of recall to provide a dramatic narrative. In his earliest use of cyclical return, the Op. 5 Piano Sonata (1853), the Andante second movement is echoed and transformed by the ‘Ruckblick’ fourth movement, as Brahms plays on the poetic inscription of the former movement to raise the specter of lost love and mortality. In a more complex web of thematic recall, the op. 78 Violin Sonata (1878) combines allusions to a pre-existing pair of interrelated songs from his Op. 59 with a newly composed, recurring instrumental theme to create a multi-layered, somber character in the piece. Both of those works draw on an earlier, romantic sense of yearning for return. Near the end of his career, however, the quiet emergence and eventual dissipation of opening material at the close of the Op. 115 Clarinet Quintet (1891) reflects Brahms's awareness of his place at the end of an artistic tradition, and thereby conveys a post-Romantic conception of history.

想象与记忆:贝多芬和勃拉姆斯的跨乐章主题回忆

和他的几位前辈一样,勃拉姆斯在他的几部器乐作品中将一个乐章的主题重新引入到后来的乐章中。历史环境和不断变化的历史意识影响了作曲家对主题回忆的使用。对于贝多芬(依莱恩·西斯曼)来说,回忆早期的主题提供了创造性的刺激,使作品按照定义贝多芬启蒙世界观的线性历史概念向前推进。勃拉姆斯对跨运动主题回忆的使用往往表达了对过去更加渴望和忧郁的看法,并侧重于回忆提供戏剧性叙事的能力。在他最早使用周期性回报时,Op。5 Piano Sonata (1853),行板的第二乐章与“Ruckblick”第四乐章相呼应和转变,正如勃拉姆斯在前一乐章的诗意铭文上演奏,以唤起失去的爱和死亡的幽灵。在更复杂的主题回忆网络中,op。78 Violin Sonata (1878) 结合了他作品中一对预先存在的相互关联的歌曲的典故。59 用一个新创作的、反复出现的器乐主题在作品中创造了一个多层次、忧郁的角色。这两部作品都借鉴了早期的、浪漫的渴望回归的感觉。然而,在他职业生涯接近尾声时,在 Op. 115 单簧管五重奏(1891 年)反映了勃拉姆斯对他在艺术传统结束时所处位置的认识,从而传达了一种后浪漫主义的历史观。在更复杂的主题回忆网络中,op。78 Violin Sonata (1878) 结合了他作品中一对预先存在的相互关联的歌曲的典故。59 用一个新创作的、反复出现的器乐主题在作品中创造了一个多层次、忧郁的角色。这两部作品都借鉴了早期的、浪漫的渴望回归的感觉。然而,在他职业生涯接近尾声时,在 Op. 115 单簧管五重奏(1891 年)反映了勃拉姆斯对他在艺术传统结束时所处位置的认识,从而传达了一种后浪漫主义的历史观。在更复杂的主题回忆网络中,op。78 Violin Sonata (1878) 结合了他作品中一对预先存在的相互关联的歌曲的典故。59 用一个新创作的、反复出现的器乐主题在作品中创造了一个多层次、忧郁的角色。这两部作品都借鉴了早期的、浪漫的渴望回归的感觉。然而,在他职业生涯接近尾声时,在 Op. 115 单簧管五重奏(1891 年)反映了勃拉姆斯对他在艺术传统结束时所处位置的认识,从而传达了一种后浪漫主义的历史观。片中阴沉的性格。这两部作品都借鉴了早期的、浪漫的渴望回归的感觉。然而,在他职业生涯接近尾声时,在 Op. 115 单簧管五重奏(1891 年)反映了勃拉姆斯对他在艺术传统结束时所处位置的认识,从而传达了一种后浪漫主义的历史观。片中阴沉的性格。这两部作品都借鉴了早期的、浪漫的渴望回归的感觉。然而,在他职业生涯接近尾声时,在 Op. 115 单簧管五重奏(1891 年)反映了勃拉姆斯对他在艺术传统结束时所处位置的认识,从而传达了一种后浪漫主义的历史观。
