It began with the stagecoach and the early steam train and ended with the telephone, the telegraph and the phonograph. A rapid technical development in Johannes Brahms' life from 1833 to 1897.
He was born in Hamburg, his life ended in Vienna. Two seemingly fixed poles, but constant movement in between, which only came to rest in the summer months and sublimated itself there in the writing down of inner sound. The spatial traversing of Europe in four decades, like a vagabond, allowed him to cover thousands of kilometers as a composer, pianist and conductor between Copenhagen and Syracuse, Amsterdam and Prague, Kiel and Transylvania, between Lake Lucerne and Wroclaw. All for the sake of music and all only possible thanks to technical progress in the form of the exploding European rail network in the 19th century.
The Johannes Brahms Society Hamburg traces this composer's traveling life in the special exhibition with extensive texts and pictures.
We look forward to your visit!
