The similarities among Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms lie in their use of complex harmonies, intricate melodies, and structural forms in their compositions. However, Bach's music is more Baroque in style with contrapuntal textures, Beethoven's is characterized by emotional depth and innovation, and Brahms' compositions often blend classical forms with Romantic expressiveness.
The "mystery composer" you are asking about is Johannes Brahms, although it is stretching a point to say that Brahms took older forms and styles and redefined them in a "modern" way.Brahms certainly had his own voice, but no musicologist I have ever heard of would describe Brahms as an "innovator". He used existing forms in fresh ways, yes - but that's originality, not innovation - they are two different things. Brahms was a fine composer, but he was no trailblazer. His First symphony - and it is magnificent - was called "Beethoven's Tenth" for a reason.
It s. from the seventies....called Elizabeth...not old classical music but sounds like Brahms. That s all I know
The two forms are somewhat similar in structure, as they are also similar to symphonies. They have three or four movements (most often, not always) and the first movement is called "sonata form," a theme being developed, a second theme then being developed, and the first theme being reprised (that is an inadequate description and you can find a better one in any textbook). As to your question, a sonata is played by one instrument (e.g. piano) or one instrument accompanied by piano (e.g. violin, cello, indeed any instrument at all). A concerto is played by one instrument (usually) with a symphony orchestra. (There is a Brahms double concerto for violin and cello, and a Beethoven triple concerto for violin, cello and piano.)
During the Romantic period, choral music experienced a resurgence in popularity, largely due to the era's emphasis on emotional expression and nationalism. Composers like Brahms, Mendelssohn, and Dvořák crafted intricate choral works that highlighted the human voice's capacity for conveying deep feelings. Additionally, the rise of large-scale choral societies and public performances contributed to the genre's widespread appeal, making choral music a central feature of the Romantic musical landscape. This period saw choral compositions that not only celebrated individual expression but also fostered a sense of community and cultural identity.
This era is the Romantic age era therefore meaning most composers mixed traditional music to create their own tunes to represent their own or a different country. Some of the famous musicians fit under 3 categories: musicians of the future, traditionalist and nationalist. Some famous musician are Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsalov, Cui, Wagner, and Brahms.
Both Beethoven and Brahms were German composers and concert pianists. Both of these composers are considered as innovated in musical forms regarded to orchestra. Compositions of these two were for gigantic orchestras in comparison to symphonies of Mozart, Haydn etc.

Yes, Beethoven and Bach significantly influenced Brahms. Brahms admired Bach's contrapuntal techniques and often incorporated intricate polyphony into his compositions. Additionally, Beethoven's innovative approaches to form and emotional depth inspired Brahms to develop his own unique style while respecting classical traditions. Brahms viewed both composers as foundational figures, shaping his musical language and artistic philosophy.
Johannes Brahms is often considered to be paying tribute to Ludwig van Beethoven, the prominent German composer who preceded him. Brahms admired Beethoven's work and sought to build upon his legacy, particularly in the symphonic and chamber music forms. This homage is evident in Brahms's compositions, which blend classical structure with rich emotional depth, reflecting Beethoven's influence on his musical development.
She spent 5.8 hours total and 1.8 hours of that time was spent listening to Brahms. To find how long she spent listening to Beethoven, subtract 1.8 from 5.8. 5.8 - 1.8 = 4.0. She spent 4 hours listening to Beethoven.

Brahms paid homage to Beethoven's music through various means, notably by incorporating elements of Beethoven's structural techniques and thematic development in his own compositions. He admired Beethoven's symphonic form and often sought to elevate his works to a similar level of emotional depth and complexity. Additionally, Brahms's use of motifs and intricate counterpoint reflects Beethoven's influence, particularly evident in his symphonies and chamber music. His dedication of the Piano Sonata No. 3 to Beethoven further signifies his respect and reverence for the earlier composer.
