BRAHMS & DVORÁK: TWO OLD FRIENDS “Dvořák is, for me, along with Brahms, the most outstanding musician...” − Hans von Bülow Their friendship began when Brahms, already a renowned composer, used his influence to secure for Dvořák a composition prize. This early recognition blossomed into welcome success and in following years Brahms became both friend and mentor to the Czech composer.
