![[Brahms, Johannes. (1833–1897)] A Concert Program: Brahms Performs Beethoven and Schumann](http://www.schubertiademusic.com/cdn/shop/files/Brahms_2C_Johannes_Concert_Program_Performs_Beethoven_23462.jpg?v=1722190776)
This program is for a concert at which Brahms performed piano works by Beethoven and Schumann, and at which his friends sang two of his own vocal quartets.
Held at the salon of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde on April 9, 1869, the concert began with Brahms' performance of Beethoven's Sonata in F major, op. 54, after which followed two of his own vocal quartets, "An die Heimat" and "Wechsellied zum Tanz". Brahms also offered Schumann's Davidsbündlertänze, op. 6, later in the program.
The performers included several of Brahms' friends: concert baritone Julius Stockhausen and Wiener Staatsoper stalwart Gustav Walter (both of whom would later premiere Brahms' Lieder); young soprano Rosa Girzik (who would apply to Brahms for help during a period of financial difficulty); Stockhausen pupil Helene Magnus; and Croatian pianist Julius Epstein.
