巴赫在作品《賦格藝術》(Die Kunst der Fuge, BWV1080)中使用音名與字母的轉換手法，開啟了後來許多音樂家創作的靈感，這也使得許多浪漫時期作曲家喜好在音樂創作中將個人私密的情感轉換成音符密碼。經過長時間的發展，這種在音樂中隱藏聲音密碼的處理方式就成了一種創作模式。布拉姆斯透過這樣的方式，讓音樂的表達出現了更深層的意義。他選擇姚阿幸(Joseph Joachim, 1831-1907)的座右銘 ”Frei, aber Einsam”（自由，卻孤寂），並將此三個德文字的字首F.A.E.當成音名作為動機發展；現實中，布拉姆斯也不知不覺地認同這種生活哲學。許多歷史證據都顯示這種思考角度最貼近布拉姆斯；不僅在個人特質方面，在世界觀方面也是如此。這也印證了布拉姆斯將音樂中的音符密碼，透過音樂語義的轉化成為個人體驗的表達與創作力的想像行為。

Since Bach set his name in musical notes, he has inspired many composers later on to do the same. Musical acronym was used by many composers in the Romantic period to transfer personal intimate emotion to musical codes. After a long term of development it has become a model of composition. Brahms used this technique to express deeper meaning in music. He chose the motto of Joachim ”Frei, aber Einsam” ( Free, but alone), and transferred its acronym F. A. E. to a musical motif. In reality, Brahms feels a sense of kinship toward this sentiment. Many historical evidences prove this idea both in his personal essence and way of living. 8rahms used musical sementic to express his personal experience and creative imagination.
