2. Milestones of the Millenium: Johannes Brahms
- www.npr.org
- Johannes Brahms.
- Hopelessly conservative, utterly romantic, hard-bitten and secretive, self-critical to a fault: these are among the many descriptions of the last of the "Three B’s": Johannes Brahms. Performance Today commentator Jan Swafford, author of a recent biography of Brahms, describes the great 19th-century composer as a "man of masks" who hid his personal tenderness and uncertainties behind the crusty exterior of a bearded, beer-guzzling, cigar-smoking bachelor. ...
- Brahms was a fundamentally conservative composer who drew much of his inspiration from the giants of the past whom he revered, especially Bach and Beethoven. ... Despite this conservative nature--which brought Brahms much scorn from elements of the musical world aligned with Richard Wagner--Swafford says Brahms in turn inspired the "musical revolutionaries" who followed him, among them Arnold Schoenberg and Igor Stravinsky. ...
- Brahms was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1833 to a poor family. ... After a few years of playing piano in wharfside brothels, Brahms impressed musical giants, such as the great violinist Joseph Joachim and the composer-pianist couple Robert and Clara Schumann, with his early works. ...
- Joachim and the Schumanns were among the first to experience what Swafford describes as the "Brahms epiphany": the sensation felt by listeners when his music "leaps into your heart. ... Brahms, Swafford says, "has a singular gift for getting under your skin," especially with his tender, inward-looking music. ...
- Even so, there were points in his career when the public didn’t automatically appreciate the results of Brahms’ genius. One of those times was in 1859 when Brahms played his Piano Concerto No. ... The work is now one of Brahms’ most popular. ...
- By the time of his death in 1897, Brahms was an enormously popular composer, almost universally recognized as the rightful successor to Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. ...
- Perhaps the explanation for the enduring popularity of Brahms’ music, Swafford says, is its knack for addressing everyone’s "personal emotions. " Works such as the magnificent German Requiem fit the often-used description of Brahms music as "Olympian," Swafford says. ...
- Listen as Swafford describes the elusive genius of Johannes Brahms, in this installment of Milestones of the Millennium. ...

- Furtwängler on Brahms .
- Johannes Brahms, the composer of A German Requiem, four symphonies, four concertos, and many songs, piano pieces, and chamber works, was one of the seminal musical figures of the 19th century. ...
- Brahms was born in Hamburg, Germany, on May 7, 1833. ... Brahms was a talented pianist, giving his first public recital at the age of 14, and making a living by playing in taverns and dance halls. ...
- On a concert tour in 1853 as accompanist for the Hungarian violinist Eduard Remenyi, Brahms met Franz Liszt, who praised the 20-year-old's Scherzo in E Flat Minor and his piano sonatas. Brahms, however, never became personally friendly with Liszt, and in 1860 he signed a manifesto attacking the so-called Music of the Future, which Liszt championed. More fruitful for Brahms was his meeting with Robert Schumann, who hailed the young composer as the coming genius of German music and arranged for the publication of his first songs and piano sonatas. Schumann died in 1856, and Brahms remained a devoted friend of his widow, Clara Wieck Schumann, until her death in 1896. Brahms never married, although he had a large circle of friends and patrons. ...
- After Brahms was rejected for a post as conductor in Hamburg in 1862, he visited Vienna and later (1868) made his home there. ...
- Brahms's work as a choral conductor in Vienna prepared him for the composition of A German Requiem, based on biblical texts rather than on the Roman Catholic requiem mass; it was first performed on Good Friday (April 10), 1868, in the cathedral of Bremen. Brahms's other major works from this period include the Piano Quintet in F Minor; the Magelone Romances based on poems by Ludwig Tieck; two piano quartets; and the trio for piano, violin, and French horn. ...
- Brahms conducted the orchestra of the Society of the Friends of Music in Vienna from 1872 to 1875, after which he devoted himself entirely to composition. ... During this period Brahms did not neglect song or chamber music, although the number of his piano compositions diminished after he wrote Variations on a Theme by Handel (1862). During the 1880s, Brahms wrote his third (F major) and fourth (E minor) symphonies; the double concerto (A minor) for violin, cello, and orchestra; and choral works, chamber music, and songs. ...

- Johannes Brahms.
- It is into this latter category that Johannes Brahms belongs, yet an important part of his output remains little known, even amongst enthusiasts for his art. ... In many ways, this is a surprising state of affairs, for Brahms was enamoured of the voice throughout his life, and he wrote many vocal works - from solo songs to large-scale choral-orchestral pieces. ...
- The Spanish Love Songs of Brahmss idol Schumann, for vocal quartet and piano, may have suggested the form of this work to Brahms.
- Brahmss opus 39 Waltzes for piano duet - he also made a version for solo piano - and his admiration for Johann Strauss II - demonstrate his genuine affection for the dance, but there is one other unusual aspect of the Liebeslieder; it was first published as being for piano duet "with voices ad libitum". ...
- Eighteen waltzes make up Brahmss opus 52. They are written to texts by Brahmss contemporary, the German philosophical writer George Friedrich Daumer, from his noted anthology Polydora, translations or imitations of mainly Russian and Polish (and occasionally Hungarian) folk-songs. ... The second performance took place in Vienna the following January, with Clara Schumann and Brahms himself as the pianists. ...
- In 1874, Brahmss publishers, N. ... This was in a remarkable concert on November 8th 1874 of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, conducted by Brahms, who in the first half of the concert had been the soloist in Beethovens "Emperor" Concerto. ...
- Five years earlier, Brahms had completed a similar set, Drei Gesänge, for six-part unaccompanied mixed voices. The third of these, Darthulas Grabesgesang, has a text taken from a translation of Ossian, which Brahms found in Johann Herders Stimmen der Völker. ...
- In 1889, towards the end of his composing life, Brahms wrote several choral pieces, including a set of Fünf Gesänge for unaccompanied mixed voices. ...
- From the other end of Brahmss composing life, the seven Marienlieder for unaccompanied mixed voices was first published in 1862; the fifth of these Ruf zur Maria (the second of Book II) is a delightfully fresh and flexible setting - the words are not sacred, but come from old German texts founded upon some of the medieval legends concerning the history of the Virgin. ...
- This was first performed in 1859 (some two years before it was first published), conducted by Brahms, in circumstances which, according to several of those present, left something to be desired with regard to his Conducting technique. It is scored for four-part female choir with organ or orchestra (Brahms also did versions for string orchestra or piano accompaniment). Karl Geiringer found it to be "an experimental study" - rather more Italian than North German perhaps - yet in its flowing thirds it is undoubtedly echt-Brahms. ...

- One of the great masters, Johannes Brahms was a radical in harmony and expressiveness, but a conservative in his use of traditional forms. He is considered one of the "Three Bs" along with Bach and Beethoven, each the master of his own time and style, the Romantic period in Brahms' case. Brahms was born on May 7, 1833 in Hamburg, Germany. When Brahms was 20, Robert Schumann examined some of his compositions and hailed him as a genius. Brahms was opposed to the radical music of Liszt and Wagner, and was most enamored by the music of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. Hans von Bülow once described Brahms' Symphony No. ...
- Brahms never wrote an opera, but his work in other forms were masterpieces, such as his four symphonies, four concertos, two orchestral serenades, and two overtures; the German Requiem and other choral works; Lieder; much great chamber music; the "Haydn" Variations for orchestra, and the "Handel" and "Paganini" Variations for piano; many pieces for piano and some organ works; some of the greatest pieces featuring clarinet, including Trio in A minor, Op. ... Brahms died of cancer on April 3, 1897. ...

8. Johannes Brahms - Violin Sonata No.1 in G major, Op.78
- www.classicalnotes.co.uk
- Johannes Brahms (1833-1897).
- Brahms mastery of string chamber music was hard-won. ... A single Scherzo for violin and piano is all that has survived from some 70 string chamber works which, according to Donald Tovey, Brahms deemed fit only to be burned. The G major Violin Sonata, known to us as the First, was actually Brahms' fifth attempt to resolve the problems inherent in blending the lyrical violin with the essentially percussive piano. But this intense - even obsessive - self-criticism meant that in the works he did publish, Brahms moves with a mastery so perfect as to seem effortless. In the G major Sonata two additional influences may also be felt to have contributed to the music's relaxed, confident manner - the profound integrity and lyrical playing of Joseph Joachim, the Hungarian virtuoso who inspired all of Brahms' mature string writing, and the scenic surroundings of Portschach in Austrian Carinthia. The holiday atmosphere of this mountain resort seems to have evoked in Brahms a particularly sunlit mood; in the two preceding summers there he had produced two of his most joyful orchestral works, the Second Symphony (1877) and the Violin Concerto (1878). ...
- The violin takes the leading role almost throughout, and Brahms skilfully blends its burgeoning cantabile with a richly varied blend of graceful accompaniment figures and subtle counterpoint for the piano. The noble Adagio is a simple ternary structure, but its very simplicity allows Brahms the greatest freedom of rhythm and the opportunity to plumb the profoundest emotional depths. ... The Allegro molto finale opens with three repeated notes in a clear reference to the first movement, although its true first subject soon turns out to be the melody of Brahms' song Regenlied Op. ...

11. Classical Net Review - Johannes Brahms, A Biography
- www.classical.net
- Johannes Brahms.
- Swafford has taught me many things I have not known, and some I have wondered about, since I read Karl Geiringer's biography of Brahms long ago.
- As far as Brahms himself is concerned, this is a myth. ... It was the music of Liszt and Bruckner that Brahms couldn't stand. There was no sympathy between Brahms and Tchaikovsky either. Brahms did have a lifelong liking for popular music, including gypsy music and German folk music.
- In spite of his conscious efforts to write for a middle class audience, Brahms' music was considered difficult. ... The premiere of the First Piano Concerto there was a particular disaster, both musically and for Brahms' personal life. ...
- It is well known that Brahms wrote no operas, but less well known that he wanted to write them and long sought a suitable libretto. ... Just as he felt constraint in writing a symphony because of the burden of living up to the models Beethoven provided, Brahms was not about to look ridiculous in comparison with Wagner. He also had to live up to Schumann's predictions of great things for Brahms.
- As a composer, Brahms generally worked out his compositions slowly in his head – he had an exceptional musical memory – before writing them out, and he destroyed most of the sketches he did produce, along with some completed works, notably a second violin concerto and a second double concerto, because initial public reaction to the first ones was not encouraging. ... ) Swafford provides considerable musical analysis, with musical examples, particularly of Brahms' major chamber music.
- Again, it is well known how long Brahms waited to write for orchestra. ... They had not concealed their disdain for one of Brahms' serenades they had to play, and on that occasion Brahms told them that, if they were looking for another Beethoven, those days were gone forever, or something to that effect. But they were quite friendly for the rehearsals of the Haydn Variations, which was an immediate success, and after that Brahms wrote regularly and successfully for orchestra.

- Brahms.
- 98 Johannes Brahms was born in Hamburg on May 7, 1833. ... Brahms scored the work for pairs each of flutes (second doubling on piccolo), oboes, clarinets, and bassoons (adding a contrabassoon in the third and fourth movements); 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones (fourth movement only), timpani, triangle (third movement only), and strings. Johannes Brahms was, at first, a hesitant symphonist. ... It seems likely that the impetus for the second round of symphonic composition was provided by Brahms's new association with the court orchestra of the Duchy of Meiningen. ... He found a new appreciation for the music of Brahms, which he had previously thought of as dry and academic. While giving concerts in Vienna in 1881, Bülow told Brahms of his work with the Meiningen Orchestra, and when the composer expressed his admiration and encouragement, Bülow offered the orchestra to Brahms as a sort of laboratory where he could try out new works. ... Not only did the Meiningen ensemble act as a "rehearsal orchestra" for Brahms, but its concerts of Brahms's music became famous. Moreover, Bülow frequently took the orchestra on tours, first throughout Germany, and later farther abroad, and Brahms's music figured prominently in the programs. This did much to spread knowledge of Brahms's music and carry his reputation to a wider audience. Thus, it seems fitting that the composer's final symphony should have been given its premiere (directed by Brahms himself) by the group with which he had worked so closely. ... Indeed, upon hearing Brahms and a friend read through a two-piano version of the work, the renowned Viennese critic Eduard Hanslick quipped, "I had the feeling that two enormously clever people were cudgeling each other.
