JOHANNESBRAHMS (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.
Brahms in fact admired some of Wagner's music and admired Liszt as a great pianist, but in 1860 he attempted to organize a public protest against some of the wilder excesses of their music.
Brahms is buried in the Zentralfriedhof in Vienna.
Alongside Anton Bruckner, Brahms was perhaps the major practitioner of the symphony during the latter half of the 19th century; Though he was viewed as diametrically opposed to Wagner during his lifetime, it is incorrect to characterize Brahms as a reactionary.
