On symphonic area was Brahms in Vienna opposite [http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=nl&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Fnl.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FAnton_Bruckner Anton Bruckner] asked. Bruckner represented according to the ' Brahmsianen ' (wrongly) the ' Wagnerian ' Symphony.Brahms was by the Bruckneraanhangers (among others [http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=nl&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Fnl.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FHugo_Wolf Hugo Wolf]and [http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=nl&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Fnl.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FGustav_Mahler Gustav Mahler] ) labeled as conservative. Both musicians differed from each other in all areas (except that they had the same favorite dish). Both masters were inadvertently exposed to each other's opponents. Incidentally, suffered fewer than Brahms under Bruckner. In his other three symphonies knew Brahms a much more personal style. These works came in much shorter time than his Eagle.

Brahms for his successes in good ones do, but lived always easy. He donated money to promising musicians, such as [http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=nl&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Fnl.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FAnton%25C3%25ADn_Dvo%25C5%2599%25C3%25A1k Antonín Dvořák], and supported his family and Clara Schumann.
