No better day to inaugurate this blog than the birthday of Brahms, my favorite composer and a true musical craftsman of the late Romantic era. To start, here are my two favorites of his symphonies (amazing recording by the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra, directed by Jaap van Zweden). Once finals season is over, I'll plan to revisit this post. Enjoy!
Symphony No.3, Op.90
I. Allegro con brio (F major)
II. Andante (C major)
III. Poco allegretto (C minor)
IV. Allegro (F minor)
Symphony No.4, Op.98
I. Allegro non troppo (E minor)
II. Andante moderato (E major)
III. Allegro giocoso (C major)
IV. Allegro energico e passionato (E minor)
