Rhapsody in G Minor

Composer: Johannes Brahms (1833-1897)

Brahms was a German composer of the Romantic period. He spent most of his professional life in Vienna where he was the leader of the musical scene. He is often considered one of the "Great 3 Bs: Bach, Beethoven and Brahms". A rhapsody is a one-movement work that is free-flowing in structure, featuring a range of highly contrasted moods, color and tonality. The Rhapsody in g minor was written in 1879, when Brahms had reached his maturity as a composer.
