Johannes Brahms.

Johannes Brahms (b.Hamburg, 7 May 1833; d. Vienna 3 April 1897) was a famous German composer. He started his career as a pianist. He was always very self-critical and destroyed any composition he thought was not really good. He thought that people were expecting him to be the “next Beethoven”, and spent many years on his first [symphony]] before he allowed it to be performed. He wrote four symphonies, four concertos, a requiem, piano music, chamber music and songs. Perhaps his best known tune is his Wiegenlied (Lullaby) which is played by nearly every child’s musical box.
