Brahms, other than writing lovely lovely music, seemed like a pretty nice guy too. He hung out with Clara Schumann when her husband was all "Im in an insane asylum..."and (according to wikipedia, which I know is not a scholarly source but REALLY, life doesn't revolve around academic writing I'm not going to bloody footnote everything to university standards, end rant:) he often brought penny candy with him to hand out to children when he went walking in the woods.
Also his favourite pub in Vienna was called the "Red Hedgehog." Now there's a man of taste.

Well...it an imagined quote by a man who'd just thrown himself into the Rhine, so grammar probably wasnt on his mind...
