Brahms & Franck
Johannes Brahms and Cesar Franck where two contemporary composers who didn't get to personally meet. However, they where both at the tip of their creative potencial in 1886. In that year the german started writting the violin sonata N. 3, and the Belgian was finnishing his celebrated sonata in A major. These two milestone achivements perfectly ilustrate the personalities and techniques of these unique creators.
