Johannes Brahms :an essential guide to his life and works

Johannes Brahms (1833-97) led a life of balanced opposites. A loyal friend, he was also gruff, bad-tempered and rude. He became known for playing the piano too loud and for a hearty appetite for beer and cigars. The composer of the frenzied Hungarian Dances was, however, also the composer of the serene Cradle Song. Written with meticulous attention, yet rich in eroticism, his music expresses a turmoil that the outer world scarcely saw in the life of a sometimes solitary bachelor who paced his life ant its routines with care. He has remained one of the most popular composers, as Jonathon Brown suggests, because he understands the dangers of love and fear in our lives and resolves them.
