Johannes Brahms
Born: 7th May 1833, Hamburg
Died: 3rd April 1897, Vienna
Nationality: German
Johannes Brahms was a German composer, virtuoso pianist, and conductor of the mid-Romantic period. His music is noted for its rhythmic vitality and freer treatment of dissonance, often set within studied yet expressive contrapuntal textures. He adapted the traditional structures and techniques of a wide historical range of earlier composers. His œuvre includes four symphonies, four concertos, a Requiem, much chamber music, and hundreds of folk-song arrangements and Lieder, among other works for symphony orchestra, piano, organ, and choir.
Born to a musical family in Hamburg, Brahms began composing and concertizing locally in his youth.
