Morphology

Max + Bruch

This is a referential proper name composed of two name elements; knowing 'Max' (a given name) and the element 'Bruch' does not allow a learner to infer 'German composer' or any biographical information. Proper names are arbitrary labels rather than compositional phrases, so the meaning is not derivable from the constituents.

Etymology

Max Bruch is the full name of a German musician: Max is short for Maximilian and Bruch is his family name. Today Max Bruch refers to the 19th-century 'composer' famous for a warm, well-known 'violin concerto', so the name now brings that music to mind.
