Johannes Brahms’s death in 1897 signaled the end of a musical era, one born of the Viennese Classical tradition and ultimately embodied by the uncompromising quality and ravishing expressivity of Brahms’s finest music. In the soulful timbres of the viola, clarinet, and his closest friend, the piano, Brahms found a voice for the bittersweet farewell of his final works.
