Brahms, Johannes. (1833–1897) & Strauss II, Johann. (1825–1899)

Original Cabinet Photograph

Large cabinet photograph of the German romantic composer and pianist standing with the famed Austrian composer who developed the waltz in the form and style we associate with the family name. Light sepia-tone, a wonderful original example of this 1894 photograph by Rudolf Krziwanek taken at Bad Ischl. 10.8 x 16.4 cm [4.25 x 6.5 inches]. Fine.



"Brahms also became a regular feature of the lavish parties Johann Strauss produced at his Biedermeier-style villa in Ischl. Strauss was happy to accept the friendship of the distinguished symphonist." (Jan Swafford, "Johannes Brahms: A Biography," p. 558) (11358)
