Description
Johannes Brahms (pronounced...(more) [joːˈhanəs ˈbʁaːms]) (May 7, 1833 – April 3, 1897), German composer and pianist, was one of the leading musicians of the Romantic period. Born in Hamburg, Brahms spent much of his professional life in Vienna, Austria, where he was a leader of the musical scene. In his lifetime, Brahms's popularity and influence were considerable; following a comment by the nineteenth century conductor Hans von Bülow, he is sometimes grouped with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven as one of the Three Bs.

Brahms composed for piano, for chamber ensembles, for symphony orchestra, and for voice and chorus.
