In a world dominated by the incandescent brilliance of Liszt and the orchestral fireworks of Wagner,
Brahms's music appears, in contrast, to be more restrained and reticent; while theirs is pictorial and literary, his seems abstract and self-sufficient. Chris de Souza does not accept this analysis and argues that Brahms did not wear his heart on his sleeve and that his music tells us far more about his life, loves and spiritual development than we think. Piano Sonata in C, Op 1;
FAE Sonata in C minor (excerpt); Serenade No 1 in D (excerpts)
