I am very sad to hear that the musicologist Reinhold Brinkmann has passed away, at the age of seventy-six. His book Late Idyll, on Brahms's Second Symphony, is a masterpiece of scholarship and a searching meditation on the art of melancholy."
Never heard of this guy, but the Second Symphony and "a searching meditation on the art of melancholy" are right up my alley. This book will be bought.
