Brahms was born in 1833. He composed steadily throughout the 1850s and 60s and was most popular in the 1870s. In 1890, Brahms made a vow to himself to retire from composing, but was not able to keep it long - several of his best works came in this last seven years of his life.
He died in 1897 of cancer, at the age of 63.

Unless you were an archivist for the Third Reich, there is no such thing as "part Jewish". A person is either is or is not. In Jewish law, if Brahms' father's mother was Jewish, then Brahms' father was Jewish. And if Brahms' father was Jewish but his mother was not, then Brahms himself was not.
Johannes Brahms was a German composer of the Romantic period. He can also be classified as the "classical" Romantic composer due to movements composed in Sonata Form, and also composing strict counterpoint as influenced by J.S. Bach. (As shown in his six pieces Op. 118 Rhapsodies, Ballades, Intermezzi etc.)
