Composer:
Johannes Brahms

Artist(s):
Hardy Rittner

Background: Young pianist, Hardy Rittner performs these very early piano pieces by Brahms. Schumann heard Brahms performing these pieces and the rapturous reception he gave them, made the young composer famous over night. Rittner plays on a Johann Baptist Streicher Piano dated 1851 from the Collection by Gert Hecher, Vienna.

So well preserved and cared for is this instrument that it still has many of its original strings!
