Joshua Garrett has kindly offered Horn Matters a copy of his dissertation “The Brahms Horn Trio: Background and Analysis for Performers.”

It is a comprehensive historical and musical analysis of the Brahms Op. 40 Trio — required reading for anyone performing this piece.

Access the full dissertation here.

Mr. Garrett is a graduate of SUNY at Stony Brook and the Juilliard School, and formerly served as third hornist in the San Jose Symphony Orchestra.

In his post “A Brass Viola?” John Ericson noted that the somewhat controversial publication A Devil to Play by Jasper Rees makes use of Mr. Garrett’s dissertation — without credit.
