Abstract

Johannes Brahms is a great composer in the history of Western music, and his works hold an important position in his works. As the last composer of the German ancient music school, he lived in the middle and late stages of Romanticism, following the development trend of Romanticism while also advocating classical and rationality. In Brahms' music creation, he integrated classical and romanticism. Brahms took Theo's music to a new level, and his songs are an indispensable part of Theo's music field. This article focuses on an in-depth study of his three songs: "We Wander", "Like That Soft Melody", and "I'm Faintly Sleeping". These three songs were all created by the author in his later years, and from the perspective of aesthetic orientation, creative techniques, and musical style, they can reflect Brahms' music creation style during this period more comprehensively.
