Johannes Brahms

(1833-1897)

Introduction by Maestro Eylar


I have selected ten excerpts from the large oeuvre of Brahms to illustrate his development from his very early works (the wonderful Scherzo for Piano, his first published work) through his late works (also for piano). Brahms composed in many genres and for many different groups, and here we have piano music, chamber music, concertos, symphonic music, and choral music. A treasure trove of superb listening awaits you: enjoy!
