"Among those celebrated for their eloquence in the art of music, especially instrumental music, it's worth noting how well they wielded the foreign art of language. It's not surprising that the prose efforts of some certified greats—see Beethoven's letters—were clunky in expression and uncertain in grammar. But a surprising number of composers have been in one way or another handy with words. One of those was the master ironist Johannes Brahms."
