Johannes Brahms

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was a German composer and pianist, regarded as one of the primary figures in classical music. He is known for his rich harmonies and complex structures, blending classical traditions with Romantic expressiveness. Brahms composed symphonies, concertos, chamber music, piano works, and choral pieces, with notable works like his "Hungarian Dances" and "Symphony No. 1." His music often reflects deep emotion, technical mastery, and a respect for earlier composers like Beethoven and Bach.
