Background
Piano Concerto no.1 in D minor op.15

The mid-1850s: the British Pre-Raphaelites were at their height, Richard Wagner was composing the Ring and Tristan, Charles Dickens was publishing story after story... and Johannes Brahms was beginning to make a name for himself as the successor to Schumann in the pantheon of German music. Brahms was still in his early 20s, and had not yet grown the beard that would later give him the grizzly, grand-old-man visage. Although not sharing the revolutionary spirit of the New German School fostered by Liszt, he was nonetheless regarded in some circles as a radical figure, ambitious and determined to make his own mark. His own revolutionary act was to draw the Classical ideal of formal rigour and the emotional volatility of Romanticism into a single musical voice. This marriage is best represented among his early works by the piano concerto he wrote during the 1850s. Typical of great works of art, its creation was troubled and its initial reception unfavourable. But what the young composer brought into being was a work that combined the virtuoso needs of the concerto with the seriousness of the Beethovenian symphony. On a more personal level, it can be seen as a response to his life-changing meeting with the Schumanns, and his witnessing of Roberts tragic mental decline, yet it is no less a monument to his own genius and a work that is universal in its depiction of struggle and resolution.

"One of the grandest surprises in music since Beethoven"

Donald Tovey on an unexpected chord in the first movement

Composer profile

For someone who effectively became one of the aristocrats of European art music, Brahms had humble beginnings. He grew up in the rough port area of Hamburg, living in an effective slum and earning his first money playing the piano in brothels. Yet the city was a cultured place and offered the young Brahms a good musical education and openings for his emerging talents as a pianist and composer. His piano-playing brought him into contact with the Hungarian violin virtuoso Joseph Joachim, who became a great friend and helped foster the young composers early career, which at this stage was concentrated on piano music.
