Brahms' antiquarian interests, his studies of music from the Renaissance to the Classical periods, show in his work — he edited and helped publish a two-chorus motet by Mozart Venite Populi, he had a collection of sonatas by Scarlatti — and in his composition, his motets Op. 74, his interest in the fugue and the passacaglia (outside of organ music such as Josef Rheinberger's Sonata No. 8 ...

Brahms began the work in the summer of 1868 at Wilhelmshaven, but it was not completed until May 1871. [1] The delay was primarily due to Brahms's hesitation over how the piece should end.
