Johannes Brahms was the son of a double-bass player in the Hamburg orchestra. Brahms’s talent was recognized very early. The famous violinist, Joachim, soon introduced Brahms to Robert Schumann who, together with his wife Clara played a major role in establishing Brahms as a major composer. Brahms spent most of his life in Vienna, where he was generally considered the Beethoven’s successor. Brahms’s compositions combine the best of the traditional classical form with the innovative romantic harmonic ideas.
