Brahms’ music is deep, often melancholic and not easily appreciated by those not very familiar with classical music, therefore he is not as widely known as some of the other ones, but once you discover his music, you will appreciate and perhaps even like more than some of the other “more obvious” composers. While Brahms is “officially” known as a classical period composer, many of the pieces he has composed can very well be classified as romantic.

While Debussy’s main instrument was the piano, Ravel’s most works were composed for the orchestra. He is in fact known one of the masters of rich instrumentation of orchestral pieces. Ravel’s music is perhaps less dreamy than Debussy’s, but just as beautiful and melodic.
