     Once again, read up on the information presented about Brahms.  I want you to pretend that you are Brahms, and that there is a job opening at one of the most prestigious music positions in Germany, The Cappellmeister at the Church of Berlin.  Using your knowledge of Brahms and all his accomplishments, write a letter one to two pages long telling why you are the best candidate for the job.
