Johannes Brahms, the frail little son of poor parents, spent the
first years of his life in a wretched tenement in the old harbor
city of Hamburg. It is here that the present story opens. His
father, an irresponsible musician, kept the child up, playing the
piano at low taverns, until all hours of the night for whatever
small payment he could get. However, little Johannes's love for
fine music and for composing finally led to lessons and then to a
speedy success. Composing, teaching, playing on whatever piano was
found available, these filled the boy's day. The present book
closes when, at fifteen, he dedicates a beautiful piece to
Lieschen, the lovely daughter of Adolf Giesemann in whose home he
has spent the summer. Several of Brahms's best-known compositions
are included.
