In 1853 Brahms parted on a concert tour through Germany with the violinist Remenyi. They visited Hanover.

JOHANNES BRAHMS. of Brahms genius increased with every hearing, and took tangible shape in ft the famous article in the Neue fur Musik, entitled "New Paths, in which he announced the coming of a new genius to the musical world, and predicted for him a great future. In 1854 Brahms accepted the post of music master and choir director at the court of the Prince of where he devoted much time to study and composition. He kept the post only a few years, and for a time lived in his native city, and afterward in Switzerland, publishing little. He played hla first concerto for pianoforte In 1859, but without great sue. cess. In 1862 he went td Vienna, where he has ever since made his home, and where he has attained his great fame. In the next year he became the conductor of the Vienna Singakademienbut he resigned the post in 1864. He made frequent short journeys, spending much of his time in quiet towns suitable for hard work, occasionally conducting his compositions. The performance of his German Requiem" in 1S68 at Bremen greatly enhanced his fame. Lesser compositions were frequently coming from his pen at the same time, all tending to raise the admiration of his originality and power. His life in Vienna for twenty-fiv- e years and more has been quiet and uneventful, marked only by performances of bis compositions, frequently under his own direction,' and by his occasional appearance as a pianist, which have been of constantly increasing rarity. In 1872 be was elected conductor of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, the concerts of which were made notable by his production of the great choral works of Bach and Handel. He resigned this post in 18,75, since which time he had devoted himself almost entirely to composition, spending his winters in Vienna and his summers in Iscbl, the center of a brilliant coterie of musicians from all part of the world. Brahms first symphony, tjiat in C minor, dates from 1876, a late product of his genius, bearing the 68; the second followed the next year, the third in 1883, the fourth and last In 1886.
