Programme Notes
Beethoven, Nielsen, Brahms

If you ask our orchestra musicians about their favourite composer, the name Brahms comes up remarkably often. Today they are playing his Symphony No. 1, a work he struggled with for a long time. Beethoven's shadow seemed overbearing, and it took Brahms years to break away from it. He was correspondingly annoyed when the conductor Hans von Bülow called the work "Beethoven's tenth symphony". And rightly so: the struggle was worth it, Brahms did indeed find in this symphony those "new paths" that Schumann had predicted for him.
