37 - Johannes Brahms, pt. 4 "Waiting in the Wings" - Classical Music Podcast

Stay healthy and well!

Ep. 37 – In late 1853, having impressed important musicians across Germany, especially Robert and Clara Schumann, Johannes Brahms planned for the publication of his first opuses. His star was rising in the musical world and he had much to be proud of, but a terrible tragedy loomed on the horizon which threatened to derail his career and set his life down yet another new though unexpected path.

Very special thank you to...
