Johannes —, German composer of 1881 choral work Nanie (6)

I believe the answer is:

brahms

(Other definitions for brahms that I've seen before include "Composer (associated with Liszt?)" , "German scorer" , "German Romantic composer" , "Johannes . . . . . ., German composer of famous lullaby" , "drunk?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
