	Johannes Brahms - MSN Encarta
		Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), German composer, one of the major composers of the 19th century, whose works combine the best of the classical and romantic schools.
		Many biographers contend that Brahms was deeply in love with Clara, but he did not propose to her after Schumann's death in 1856, and he never married.
		Although Brahms revived a tradition to which no important composer since Ludwig van Beethoven had adhered, he was not wholly isolated from his own milieu, and the fiery emotional range of the romantic spirit permeates his music.

	Notes on Ein Deutsches Requiem (Johannes Brahms) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		What the Viennese musical public knew of Johannes Brahms in 1867 rested largely on his single season as conductor of the Singakademie, an a cappella ensemble he had led through the unfamiliar terrain of Baroque choral music in 1863-64.
		As in the second movement, the trajectory of the third is from bleak to jubilant, from morose reflection on the inevitability of one's own death, expressed in a call and response style that draws on operatic recitiative, to hope and faith in God's comfort, a shift again signaled by an exuberant, extended fugal passage.
		Brahms adopts Bach's strategy to his own ends, constructing a musical framework that evades denominational particularity in favor of a more personal vision that, by virtue of the humanity and generosity of the visionary, aspires to the universal.

		Born to a poor family in the slums of Hamburg, Germany, Brahms studied music as best he was able while supporting himself by playing piano at bars and brothels and by turning out arrangements of light music.
		But Brahms later abandoned this track, devoting himself instead to synthesizing the Classical forms with the almost by now forgotten early Romanticism, with its slowly unraveling sense of tonality.
		Many of Brahms' later works are undoubtedly his best, including the Four Serious Songs, the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings in B minor, and the last two of his four symphonies.

	Johannes Brahms Notes
		Presumably Brahms showed Clara Schumann that summer's lieder as a matter of course, but she remained oblivious to their mingling of old lost love and yearning for an impossible new love, in the person of her daughter.
		Brahms, who was sitting opposite to her, was evidently touched with deep emotion.
		The young Brahms was hard, almost to harshness; he loved blunt expression and sudden contrasts, and avoided concesssions to mere comprehensibility; nevertheless his works were imbued with simplicity and a profound tenderness.

	Johannes Brahms - an overview of the classical composer
		Brahms however chose the stricter conventions of the classical period, and as a result received much criticism from his more adventurous peers and later composers.
		Brahms' early music career was as a pianist giving recitals in his late teens and 20s, and his exceptionl skills on this instrument brought him attention from the violinist Joachim, and Robert and Clara Schumann who were to befriend him.
		Part of this reticence was the enormous historical figure of Beethoven in whose musical footsteps Brahms was to follow, and indeed his music was compared to Beethoven to the extent that the first Symphony was dubbed "Beethoven's 10th".
