	Johannes Brahms - LoveToKnow 1911
		JOHANNES BRAHMS (1833-1897), German composer, was born in Hamburg on the 7th of May 1833.
		Brahms has often been called the last of the great classical masters, in a sense wider than that of his place in the long line of the great composers of Germany.
		The "Academic Festival" overture proves Brahms a master of musical humour, in his treatment of the student songs which serve as its themes; and the companion piece, the "Tragic" overture, reaches a height of sublimity which is in no way lessened because no particular tragedy has ever been named in conjunction with the work.
