Aimard Plays Brahms
Johannes Brahms was born on May 7, 1833 and died on April 3, 1897. He was a German composer especially of Romantic music, who mostly lived in Vienna, Austria.
Johannes Brahms was born at Hamburg, Germany. His father, Johann Jacob Brahms, had come to Hamburg from Schleswig-Holstein in search of a career as a town musician. He was skillful on several musical instruments but found employment generally as a horn player and a double bassist. He married Christiane Nissen, a seamstress. They lived in one of the poorest district of the city, near the docks. Johann Jacob imparted to his son his first musical lessons. Brahms showed early on promise at the piano (also his younger brother Fritz went on to become a pianist). This way he helped to supplement the rather scanty family income by playing piano in restaurants and theaters, he used to teach piano to children as well. It is a long-told story that Brahms was forced as an early teenager to play the piano in some bars that doubled as brothels.
Brahms composed a number of major orchestra works; these included four symphonies, two piano concerts (First Piano Concerto and Second Piano Concerto), a Violin Concerto, a Double (violin and cello) Concerto, and the large vocal work A German Requiem (Ein deutsches Requiem). All these were quite popular and still are. For many budding composers and musicians especially in Germany Brahms is still a reckoning force and source of inspiration. But it was Beethoven who was the real inspiration for this great composer. Brahms work is quite similar to those of Beethoven and he openly said so. In fact some of Brahms works is exactly same to Beethoven's compositions.
