Question: Liebeslieder Walzer, Op. 52, are a collection of love songs in Ländler style for voices and piano four hands, written by Johannes Brahms, he was a German composer and pianist of the Romantic period, and born in which city?
Context: The Clarinet Sonatas, Op. 120, Nos. 1 and 2 are a pair of works written for clarinet and piano by the Romantic composer Johannes Brahms.  They were written in 1894 and are dedicated to the clarinetist Richard Mühlfeld.  The sonatas stem from a period late in Brahms’s life where he “discovered” the beauty of the sound and tonal colour of the clarinet.  The form of the clarinet sonata was largely undeveloped until after the completion of these sonatas, after which the combination of clarinet and piano was more readily used in composers’ new works.  These were the last chamber pieces Brahms wrote before his death and are considered two of the great masterpieces in the clarinet repertoire.  Brahms also produced a frequently performed transcription of these works for viola with alterations to better suit the instrument. Johannes Brahms (] ; 7 May 1833 – 3 April 1897) was a German composer and pianist of the Romantic period.  Born in Hamburg into a Lutheran family, Brahms spent much of his professional life in Vienna, Austria.  His reputation and status as a composer is such that he is sometimes grouped with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven as one of the "Three Bs" of music, a comment originally made by the nineteenth-century conductor Hans von Bülow. The Slavonic Dances (Czech: "Slovanské tance" ) are a series of 16 orchestral pieces composed by Antonín Dvořák in 1878 and 1886 and published in two sets as Opus 46 and Opus 72 respectively.  Originally written for piano four hands, the "Slavonic Dances" were inspired by Johannes Brahms's own "Hungarian Dances" and were orchestrated at the request of Dvořák's publisher soon after composition.  The pieces, lively and full of national character, were well received at the time and today are considered among the composer's most memorable works, occasionally making appearances in popular culture. "Liebeslieder " op. 114 is a waltz by Johann Strauss II written in 1852 (not to be confused with Brahms's similarly titled "Liebeslieder Walzer" and "Neue Liebeslieder").  At the time it was conceived, the waltz was titled 'Liebesgedichte' or "Love Poems" and during its first performance, it was even announced as 'Liebesständchen' or "Love Serenade".  The first performance was at the famed Vienna Volksgarten on 18 June 1852 under the composer's direction. The Piano Sonata No. 3 in F minor, Op. 5 of Johannes Brahms was written in 1853 and published the following year.  The sonata is unusually large, consisting of five movements, as opposed to the traditional three or four.  When he wrote this piano sonata, the genre was seen by many to be past its heyday.  Brahms, enamored of Beethoven and the classical style, composed Piano Sonata No. 3 with a masterful combination of free Romantic spirit and strict classical architecture.  As a further testament to Brahms' affinity for Beethoven, the Piano Sonata is infused with the instantly recognizable motive from Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 during the first, third, and fourth movements.  Composed in Düsseldorf, it marks the end of his cycle of three sonatas, and was presented to Robert Schumann in November of that year; it was the last work that Brahms submitted to Schumann for commentary.  Brahms was barely 20 years old at its composition.  The piece is dedicated to Countess Ida von Hohenthal of Leipzig. Liebeslieder Walzer is a ballet by New York City Ballet co-founder and ballet master George Balanchine, based on the Brahms' "Liebeslieder Walzer", Op. 52, and their sequel "Neue Liebeslieder", Op. 65. Neue Liebeslieder (New love songs), Op.  65, written by Johannes Brahms, is a collection of Romantic pieces written for four solo voices and four hands on the piano.  They are also known as "Neue Liebesliederwalzer".  "Neue Liebeslieder" were written during the Romantic period between 1869 and 1874.  The text of the songs is adapted from folk songs of various areas of Europe including Turkey, Poland, Latvia and Sicily.  The text for songs 1 through 14 were translated and compiled by Georg Friedrich Daumer in his poem series, "Polydora"; the text for the fifteenth and final song, entitled "Zum Schluß" (In Conclusion), was written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Johannes Brahms' Liebeslieder Waltzes ("Liebeslieder-Walzer") are distributed across two opus numbers: Op. 52 and Op.  65.  The waltzes are a collection of love songs in Ländler style for voices and piano four hands.  The lyrics for the "Liebeslieder" come from Georg Friedrich Daumer's "Polydora", a collection of folk songs and love poems.  While there is no concrete record indicating the exact inspiration for the Waltzes, there is speculation that Brahms' motivation for the songs was his frustrated love for pianist Clara Schumann, composer Robert Schumann's wife. The Four Pieces for Piano (German: 'Klavierstücke' ) Op. 119, are four character pieces for piano composed by Johannes Brahms in 1893.  The collection is the last composition for solo piano by Brahms.  Together with the six pieces from Op. 118, Op. 119 was premiered in London in January 1894. The Zigeunerlieder (Gypsy songs), Op.  103 and 112/3–6, are a song cycle for four singers (or choir) and piano by Johannes Brahms (Op. 103/1–7,11 exist also in an arrangement for solo voice and piano made by Brahms himself).  The texts are Hungarian folk songs in German adaptation by Hugo Conrat (originally: "Hugo Cohn" (1845–1906)), belonging to the Brahms circle in Vienna.  The first translation of the texts was by the Hungarian nurse of the Conrat family.
