A photograph shows us where he lies today – among other great composers who have shaped classical music history. Brahm's collaboration with violinist Joseph Joachim is immortalized in black-and-white photography. Their partnership brought forth some of the most beautiful chamber music compositions ever written. Finally, it is fascinating to discover that even geniuses like Johannes Brahms had their rituals; lithography depicts him starting each day with a morning cup of coffee – perhaps finding inspiration within its warm embrace before embarking on another day filled with musical brilliance.
