Brahms

Johannes Brahms

(May 7, 1833 – April 3, 1897)

Johannes Brahms was a German pianist and composer in the Romantic Era. Brahms' family was poor and from an early age he had to play piano around town to help his family earn money. As a composer, Johannes Brahms worked very hard to find just the right notes to make a great piece. He revised his pieces sometimes hundreds of times before he would allow them to be performed. He wrote 4 symphonies and pieces in every genre except opera. He was a hero to many in his time because he wrote with a melodious greatness similar to Beethoven rather than experimenting as some of the other composers of his time were doing.
