Brahms loved to do good deeds in secret, such as sending money to struggling musicians.
He was one of the few composers to be appreciated while he was still alive.
Long walks inspired the outdoor-loving Brahms.
As a thoughtful man, Brahms once, while at an inn, walked around in his stockings so that he wouldn't dirty his boots which a servant would then have to clean.
He didn't stress over being original because he thought that the creation was just as important as the perfecter (or worker) of the creation.
After his mother's death, one of Brahms friends found him "getting it all out." He was crying while playing the piano, playing specifically Goldberg Variations.

Johannes Brahms's father was rumored to be of Jewish descent (see Daniel Beller-McKenna, Revisiting the Rumor of Brahms's Jewish Descent). However, we may never know the truth.In his preface to the Foundations (xxxviii) Lord Redesdale wrote:"Some people have thought that Brahms was a Jew, that his name was a corruption of Abrahams. But this is false. Brahms came of a Silesian family, and in the Silesian dialect Brahms means a reed. (See an interesting paper in Truth of January 13, 1909)."
