This is a small bit of the liner notes essay written by Leif Segerstam for the third episode in the Brahms/Segerstam Symphonies series from Alba. I like to think of it as just a thousand or so words plucked at random from a multi-volume Finnegans Wake-style tome explaining Segerstam’s odd, and oddly appealing, musical world. So much can be divined by carefully parsing Segerstam’s interpretation of the four great orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, and there is more information imbedded in the symphonies from Segerstam’s own late works. But there are plenty of blank areas left on the map to puzzle over.
