Recollections of Johannes Brahms

Johannes Brahms studied the piano from the age of seven and theory and composition (with Eduard Marxsen) from 13, gaining experience as an arranger for his father's light orchestra while absorbing the popular alla zingarese style associated with Hungarian folk music. In 1853, on a tour with the Hungarian violinist Remenyi, he met Joseph Joachim and Liszt; Joachim, who became a lifelong friend, encouraged him to meet Robert Schumann.Dietrich, Albert H. is the author of 'Recollections of Johannes Brahms' with ISBN 9780722253625 and ISBN 0722253621.
