Composer
Johannes Brahms
Took twenty-one years over his first symphony because Beethoven's nine were behind him. He burned most of what he judged unworthy, so what survives is what he meant to survive.
Johannes Brahms was a German composer, pianist, and conductor of the mid-Romantic period. His music features expressive counterpoint, freer dissonance, rhythmic vitality, and traditional forms. His works include four symphonies, four concertos, a Requiem, much chamber music, and hundreds of folk-song arrangements and Lieder.
