The two piano concertos by Johannes Brahms occupy an uncontested place in the pantheon of the greatest works of this centre. At the same time they play a unique role in the development of the concerto form in the 19th century, particularly in view of their uneven history of reception. When the young Brahms started out searching the limelight in the early 1850s with his first major composition he was facing a musical world torn apart by ideological wars about questions of form, harmony, and the role of program music. In this decade, two irreconcilable parties emerged, on one side the so-called "conservatives" who centre was the Leipzig Conservatory (founded by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy), with figureheads like Clara Schumann and Joseph Joachim, on the other side the group of self-proclaimed "heralds of the future" led by Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner who would become known as the "Neudeutsche Schule" in 1859, a term coined by Franz Brendel. Brahms, not even twenty years old, was an ambitious pianist coming from a humble background in Hamburg, and these aesthetic quarrels didn't concern him at all. His official first works, the Piano Sonatas Opus 1 and 2 and the Scherzo Op. 4, are with all their individuality somewhat indebted to Beethoven and firmly rooted in classical harmony while only their remarkably compact piano writing offers novel characteristics. To put it simply, the young composer was following his inner voice independently of any currents.
