Brahms was a great composer of the Romantic era, having made a kind of return to classical structures (influenced by previous masters, specially Bach and Beethoven), thus creating some fabulous masterpieces, such as four fantastic symphonies, two concertos for piano and orchestra, a very famous (seen as strange...) one for violin and orchestra, one quintet for Clarinet and strings as other chamber pieces for that isntrument as well, a rare thing that was a concerto for violin, cello and orchestra, two serenades for big orchestra, some splendid quartets and quintets for strings (with or without piano), twenty one really famous dances taken from Hungarian gypsy folklore (probably three of them created by himself) for piano to four hands (later, arranged for orchestra by some friends of his and even by himself [a point that is not so well enlightened]), several sonatas for solo piano and for violin with piano, some motets and other works for singing, as well as special pieces for solo instruments or small groups etc.
