Brahms himself played the first performance of his 1st Piano Concerto on
22 January 1859 in Hannover.
Who knows how he played the piano? On that occasion and in general.

Isn't there an early Edison recording of him? Is it just speech, or did
he sit down and play a spell?

Both. It's something like: "My name is Brahms, Johannes Brahms - bang,
bang, bang bang......."
I don't think anyone has been able to determine what he was playing.

Brahms wrote for Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4. This recording was
just the cadenza, not the full movement, so no orchestra. For a moment something about it made me think I knew what Brahms was like as a
pianist - and it wasn't like the pianist who was performing the cadenza
in the recording. A composition to compliment another composer's work
was more revealing of Brahms's pianistic temperament, somehow, than his
own solo piano music was, but I couldn't explain how, and this notion
soon dissipated, like a mirage.

I love the phrase "at the piano".... it's so retro.
Like all those Heifetz recordings "With Brooks Smith at the piano"
