NOTABLE COMPOSER.

BRAHMS.

German Composer of Late

Nineteenth Century.

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was the foremost German com. paser of absolute music in the modern school. Brahms has been ranked with Bach and Beethoven and bis compositions show tha same rare mastery of the technical dificulties of music, combined with the love of poetic tonal expression.

The true beauty and worth of Brahms' compositions can only be *ppteristad by intimate acquaintance. He wrote operas. His greatest large work W&B the German Requeim." He wrote many beautiful songs, four symphonies. And serenades for orchestra, a violin, and piano concerto, the double concerto for violin and cello, several beautiful chamber music compositions, and the Hungarian dacces.

Brahms loved Hungarian music with its unusual rhythmic accent, and its melancholy strains. H. wrote twenty-one Hungarian ENGLISH MADE dacces for piano, which were afterward arranged for orchestra The most popular of the series are numbers 5 and 6, which well Green illustrate the Hungarian gypsy dance, with its sad, slow "lassen" and its rapid and impassioned “friska," These dances але excellent examples of astionality and form.
