Violinist Joseph Joachim and Composer Johannes Brahms in their younger years
Johannes Brahms composed his Double Concerto for violin and cello soloists specifically for a cellist who was a frequent collaborator on chamber works, and the violinist Joseph Joachim, with whom Brahms HAD been good friends but for many years had been estranged after siding with the wife in Joachim's divorce. But the dispute must have grown irrelevant as they both were now getting on in years and Joachim saw the Brahms Concerto as an olive branch and humbly accepted the offering.
Joachim and the cellist, Robert Hausmann, performed the work many times during the season of its premiere, with Brahms on the podium. Brahms gave the manuscript to Joachim, with the inscription "To him for whom it was written," and it would be Brahms’ final orchestral composition. The Brahms Double Concerto is today's Midday Masterpiece at 2:00 pm.
