The date of death is before birth and clearly an error as well as his age of death is wrong. Please correct. 78.100.165.71 ( talk) 10:27, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
The sentence: "Brahms composed for symphony orchestra, chamber ensembles, piano, organ, violin, voice, and chorus" should be edited to include cello. Brahms made a double concerto for violin and cello and two cello sonatas. He wrote also a solo part for cello in the slow movement of his 2nd piano concerto. All in all the pages that Brhams wrote for cello are true masterpieces. 2A0E:41B:7E11:0:3832:F32:5181:6270 ( talk) 12:30, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Just a short note. The word "Bram" is not German and it doesn't mean shrub broom, in German of any region. Please do remove that strange and highly inaccurate information because it is not only misleading but also quite ridiculous.

This is a factual correction of an obvious error.
In the Johannes Brahms article his house in Lichtental, Austria is wrongly said to be part of Baden-Baden in Germany. The Wikipedia entry for Lichtental says "Lichtental is a part of the district of Alsergrund, Vienna. It was an independent municipality until 1850." There has probably been a confusion between the cities of Baden in Austria (about 20 miles to the south of Vienna) and Baden-Baden in Germany (hundreds of miles away). However, in any event the German language version of the article on Lichtental does not mention Baden. It is also possible that there has been a confusion between Brahms and Beethoven (who did live in Baden, Austria for a time)
ACTION
The mention and link to Baden-Baden should be removed. It could be replaced with a mention of Baden bei Wien, whose Wikipedia page is: /info/en/?search=Baden_bei_Wien 90.89.76.18 ( talk) 12:12, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
The article says he was born in 1833 and married in 1830 2603:6011:380A:1300:AC04:4601:7F9B:AC92 ( talk) 14:14, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
