Johannes Brahms' "Piano Concerto No.1 in D Minor, Op.15"

Johannes Brahms' piece, "Piano Concerto No.1 in D Minor, Op. 15," was thought to have been composed in response to the attempted suicide of his good friend, Robert Schumann.  I feel the piece illustrates a vision in my mind of Shumann's suicide attempt over the Rhine river.
    When listening to the piece, the introduction to the piece has dramatic elements that give the sense of desperation of a moment before suicide.  The accelerated heart beat that intensifies inevitably meets the  tumultuous high tide at a glance beyond the rocky .  And the piano interlude that plays is that brief moment of clarity before the eventual fall.
    As the music begins to slow down, I can imagine a young man sleeping in a long boat, with the sun rays glistening over his face, and down his body.  Being sheltered under the watchful branches of a willow tree, dropping its flowers and kissing his cheeks.  He is neither awake nor dead, he is just in a sleep, where he blissfully dreams.
    As the music continues, I can imagine in the man's cloak pocket, along with a pocket watch, is an old photograph of him and a close friend.  That photograph leaves his pocket from the dancing wind that picks it up, and cuts seamlessly through the air; only to return back to the man's pocket.
   The music returns, once again, in dramatic fashion, going back to the man contemplating his own suicide.  He walks slowly backwards from the cliff, with visions of himself over the moors and coastal heights falling slowly off the edge, silently.  A ghost.
