Description
Although trained as a virtuoso pianist, German composer Johannes Brahms (1833-97) spent his youth playing in sailors' taverns. Then his mentor Schumann's decline into madness and an abortive love affair with Schumann's wife launched Brahms out on his own. With this collection of letters, illustrations, and photographs, a vivid picture emerges of one of the greatest of composers.
