Johannes Brahms was a German pianist and composer from the Romantic period. Born in Hamburg, Brahms spent most of his professional life in Vienna, Austria. His reputation as a talented composer is such that he is often grouped with Ludwig Van Beethoven and Johann Sebastian Bach as one of the "Three Bs" of music, a comment that was originally made by Hans Von Bülow, a 19th century conductor.
Brahm composed for symphony orchestra, piano, organ, chamber ensembles, and voice and chorus. While a lot of his contemporaries found his music too academic, his craftsmanship is now admired by many. After you have checked out 16 of his best works below, played by some talented musicians, you'll understand why.
