This nuanced biography by acclaimed biographer John Worthen reveals a more complex and human figure--brilliant, passionate, and deeply committed both to his art and to those he loved. Brahms's lifelong devotion to Clara Schumann shaped much of his personal and creative life, while his refusal to conform to social expectations kept him at odds with the genteel world around him. Raised in modest circumstances, he remained proudly working class even as he became one of the greatest composers of his time. From the intimacy of the \"Alto Rhapsody\" to the humane power of \"A German Requiem,\" Worthen shows us the man behind the music--blunt, brilliant, and fiercely alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Worthen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1836391978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836391975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"John Worthen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48520095793407,"sku":"9781836391975","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da409880-594e-447b-a913-58941ce5e8ff.jpg?v=1778740719","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/johannes-brahms-john-worthen-9781836391975","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
