Brahms' first piano concerto is the crowning accomplishment of his early years. Its only close rivals are the Serenade in D, Op. 11 and the B major trio, Op. 8.

If all Brahms' chamber music should be heard, the same should be said of the music for piano. Brahms showed a particular talent for the composition of variations, and this is aptly demonstrated in the famous Variations on a Theme of Handel, op. 24, with which he made his name at first in Vienna.
