Info for Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 1 & Violin Concerto - Schumann: Piano Quartet

In the autumn of 1853, the twenty-year-old Johannes Brahms, encouraged by his friend the violinist Joseph Joachim, interrupted a concert tour to present himself in Düsseldorf to Robert Schumann and his wife Clara, a virtuoso pianist. A former child prodigy, Joachim had already made a name for himself, but no one had yet heard of Brahms or his music. The meeting would have far-reaching consequences. Brahms played a number of his still unpublished compositions for the Schumanns, who were deeply impressed. That evening, Schumann noted this first meeting in his diary: ‘Visit from Brahms, a genius.’ Clara, too, made an entry: ‘There is one that comes as if sent by God. He played us sonatas, scherzos, etc. of his own, all showing exuberant imagination, depth of feeling and mastery of form. Robert said he could not tell him to leave something out of, or to add to, his music.’ For his Neue Zeitschrift für Musik, Schumann wrote an article, entitled ‘Neue Bahnen’ (New Paths), in which he praised Brahms to the heavens, who, ‘like Minerva, [seemed] to have sprung fully armed from the head of Kronion’ and described his piano sonatas as ‘symphonies in disguise’. Although the meeting with Brahms did cheer him for a short while, Schumann was already suffering from mental distress and hallucinations. On 27 February 1854, he attempted suicide and was then removed to an asylum. Brahms tended to Clara and her seven children as best he could, and a close emotional bond, perhaps stronger than friendship, developed between them.
