Brahms, as a nationalism, truly devoted himself into his whole composition life with both love and faith to his own country. His masterpiece Ein Deutsches Requiem Op.45 is exactly the product of Patriotic. On the other side, Brahms` abundant composition on folk music reveals his exuberant feelings, which specially originated from relationship with Schumann`s family. Throughout his whole composition life, he usually features romantic themes- particularly lost love as a symbol of the poet’s thoughts. Also since he thought the occupation of folk music was the ideal media of expression, he ultimately wrote Deutsche Volks-lieder and Hungarian Dance.
