BRAHMS. SU VIDA Y SU OBRA by Karl Geiringer

ohannes Brahms (Hamburgo, 7 de mayo de 1833 - Viena, 3 de abril de 1897) fue un pianista y compositor alemán del romanticismo, aunque se le puede considerar ahora un posromántico. A Brahms se le considera el más clásico de los compositores románticos. Se mantuvo fiel toda su vida al clasicismo romántico y conservador, influenciado por Mozart, Haydn y, particularmente, por Beethoven. Fue posiblemente el mayor representante del círculo conservador en la Guerra de los románticos. Sus show more oponentes, los progresistas radicales de Weimar, estaban representados por Liszt, los integrantes de la posteriormente llamada Nueva Escuela Alemana y por Wagner. show less
