Johannes Brahms

Johannes Brahms's piano music spans the early sonatas, the Paganini and Handel variation sets, and a final great body of late character pieces — the Op. 116 to 119 collections — whose autumnal interiority is unique in the literature.

Brahms's late opus collections are the most often-played late-Romantic piano music after Chopin's, and the Handel Variations are a reference work for every serious pianist.
