Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was the last of a series of giants, which included J.S.Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and Schumann. We celebrate the centennial of his death, by presenting essays by those who knew him, either personally, as in the case of Gustav Jenner, or in the case of Furtwängler, through a profound understanding of his works.
