Brahms, Johannes, yoh HAH nuhs (1833-1897), was one of the greatest composers of the late 1800's. Brahms's most important works include four symphonies, two piano concertos, one violin concerto, a requiem, chamber music, piano music, and solo songs with piano accompaniment. His music reflects many traits of the Romantic movement while it is organized into elements of classical order (see Romanticism).
