Johannes Brahms was a German Romantic pianist and composer who was born in Hamburg, Germany, on May 7, 1833, and passed away in Vienna, Austria-Hungary, now in Austria, on April 3, 1897. He composed over 200 songs in addition to music, concerti, musical ensembles, piano pieces, and choir pieces. Throughout the second part of the 1800s, Brahms was the supreme master of the symphonic and sonata forms. He can be seen as the champion of the Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Joseph Haydn Classical traditions during a time when the Romantics were challenging or upending these traditions’ norms.<\/p>

Johannes Brahms Childhood & Early Life<\/strong><\/h2>

Johannes Brahms was born on 7 May 1833 in Hamburg. His father, Johann Jakob Brahms<\/strong>, was a musician from Heide, who came to Hamburg to pursue a music career. His mother, Johanna Henrika Christiane Nissen, was a seamstress. He was born the second of their three children.<\/p>

Johannes had his first musical training from his father. When he turned seven, he started taking piano lessons from Otto Friedrich Willibald Cossel and later from Eduard Marxsen.<\/p>

When Brahms turned thirteen, he began contributing to the family income by playing at taverns, restaurants, and local dance halls in the city\u2019s dock area. Working for a prolonged period in smoke-laden rooms soon affected his health and he became ill.<\/p>

In 1847, he was sent to Winsen an der Luhe for rest. Here he conducted a male choir and for it, he wrote his first choral composition. On returning to Hamburg, he resumed playing at taverns and to earn more money, started giving piano lessons.<\/p>

Sometime now, he also started learning cello, but it came to an abrupt end when his instructor ran away with his instrument. During this period, he also performed in several concerts and began composing music for piano.<\/p>
