Welcome to 'Composer’s Classroom,' an on-air/online/in-classroom partnership between WMHT-FM and the Mohonasen Central School District! You can hear Bill Winans on this month's composer just after the 7 a.m. news on Friday mornings on WMHT-FM.
WMHT's 'Composer of the Month' for February is Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), a German composer and pianist who was one of the leading composers of the romantic period.
Brahms was born into a musical family. His father, who became his first teacher, was proficient on several instruments, but was employed primarily as a horn and double-bass player. Although the family was by no means wealthy.
Brahms began formal musical study at age seven. Owing to his family’s poverty, young Johannes began playing professionally in some very unsavory venues such as dance halls, brothels and other seedy places in Hamburg. Although he concertized early and often, he did not become well known as a pianist until a concert tour at age 19. For more on Brahms check back here next Friday or click the links below:
