Abstract
This dissertation consists of a performance project and
extensive studies of selected works by Johannes Brahms, including
the Violin Concerto, Sonatensatz, and three Violin Sonatas.
The performance project was presented in two recitals at the
University of Maryland, College Park, on November 14, 1997, and
November 16, 1997. The first recital featured Brahms' s Sonatensatz in C Minor, Violin Sonata No. 1, Op. 78 in G Major, and Violin
Sonata No. 3, Op. 108, in D Minor. The second recital included
Brahms' s Violin Sonata No.2, Op. 100, in A Major and Violin
Concerto Op. 77, in D Major.
Section One gives an overview of this dissertation project.
Section Two introduces the violin virtuoso Joseph Joachim, his
relationship with Johannes Brahms, and Brahms' s life and major
violin works. This section also analyzes Joachim's performance
practice and his teaching style. The end of this section focuses on the
influence of Joseph Joachim on Brahms' s Violin Concerto and
indicates the differences between Brahms' s original manuscript and
the version suggested by Joachim.
Section Three is composed of the programs of the two recitals.
Section Four consists of program notes for the two recitals.
The first recital was performed by I-Chun Hsieh, violin and
