How many pieces of music did Johannes Brahms write?

Answer 1

Brahms wrote 4 symphonies. He easily could have written more, but it took him over 20 years to write his first, due largely to the incredible shadow left by Beethoven, who Brahms respected immensely..

Answer 2

Johannes Brahms composed four concerti: two piano concerti, a violin concerto and a double concerto for violin, cello and orchestra. (The word "concerto" is traditionally defined as singular; whereas the plural form of the term is "concerti".)

Answer 3

If, by 'Opera,' you mean music and singing and all that, Brahms didn't write any operas.

If you mean 'opera' as the plural form of 'opus,' as in a completed written work, he wrote 122 pieces with known opus numbers, and an additional 38 known works without opus numbers.

Answer 4

Brahms's catalog includes 122 opus numbers and 38 works without numbers. Since many of those are collections of works, such as Six Pieces for Piano, Four Pieces for Piano, Eleven Chorale Preludes, etc., it's safe to estimate upwards of 300 individual compositions.
