During the period when the music in the form of romanticism emerged one after another, Brahms' music had a unique and rigorous style. His music works were rich in philosophy, ingenious and rigorous in design, and at the same time, there was no lack of romantic emotion. It skillfully combined classical techniques with romantic music connotation, forming its own unique artistic style. His work "Piano Rhapsody op79no2" was once praised by critics as "the most famous music that can best reflect the characteristics of Brahms music, has the most own taste, and has been played the most". This is also the work of Brahms' few rhapsody genres. This paper takes Brahms' piano work "Piano Rhapsody op79no2" as an example to further explore Brahms' unique artistic style and performance skills.
