      Johannes Brahms, Part II

      This is the second of two weeks exploring the music and life of the great German master. Brahms’s love of Hungarian Roma music and folksongs allowed him to create music that speaks to our inner souls. Scholars believe Brahms discarded more works than he published, so let us treasure the music we have from him.
