Product Description

Johannes Brahms (1833-97) was one of the seminal musical figures of the 19th century. He shot to fame as a dashing young performer and composer, ‘the one who had to come’ according to Robert Schumann. He consciously ‘switched’ this image, refashioning himself as elder statesman of German music, the heir to Bach and Beethoven.
