On Johannes Brahms

Johannes Brahms is one of history’s most influential composers.

But there’s a little-known side to Brahms: the boy who played piano in beer halls among prostitutes and drunken sailors, the fiercely self-protective man who thwarted future biographers by burning papers, scores and notebooks late in his life. Renowned music composer and author Jan Swafford offers richly expanded perspectives.
