Johannes Brahms:
Symphony No. 3 in F major, Op. 90 (with Score)
Composed: 1883
Conductor: Simon Rattle
Orchestra: Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra

00:00 1. Allegro con brio (F major)
13:54 2. Andante (C major)
23:12 3. Poco allegretto (C minor)
29:58 4. Allegro (F minor - F major)

When he began the Third Symphony, he was 50 years old and at the pinnacle of his creative power. The symphony is different from the other three in several significant ways. By far the shortest of the four, it is also the most densely and carefully organized. It is his only “cyclic” symphony, with material from not one, but two previous movements playing a major role in the finale.

Brahms identified it as a major-key work, but from the outset, the conflict between major and minor is established as the symphony’s most overriding musical narrative. The pitches that define F major or F minor--A-flat and A-natural--are in constant competition. This is immediately established in the pervasive opening “motto,” which uses not the A-natural of major, but the A-flat of minor. A-natural then attempts to assert itself in the actual main theme. The F-A(-flat)-F of the motto supposedly refers to Brahms’s personal cypher, “Frei aber froh” (“Free but happy”), a play on that of his professional colleague and personal friend Joseph Joachim, which was famously F-A-E, “Frei aber einsam” (“Free but lonely”).

Besides the “motto,” the first movement is known for its heroic main theme, causing the symphony to be compared to another “Third” as “Brahms’s ‘Eroica.’” The theme is not entirely original. It quotes almost exactly a rather obscure moment in the first movement of Robert Schumann’s “Rhenish” Symphony and may be a subtle tribute to his long-departed mentor.

The third movement is one of the most beautiful pieces of music in existence - one of those pieces that, upon first hearing, already feels familiar like it's always existed and Brahms simply wrote it down.

First time listening to this, I did a 5 mile run in the rich golf course neighborhood this fall Sunday morning in Knoxville TN, I finished the symphony right as I ran back to the church I left my car at, literally took me on a journey, I could get lost but the symphony became increasingly more coherent and cathartic, Brahms is a genius

I'm supposed to be studying, but here I am enchanted by this beauty, everyone talks about the 3rd mouvement, but the 4th is absoluetly magic

This certainly begins a change on how I view Brahms. I have never been really captivated by Brahms' work but this is a wonderful symphony - very glad to have taken a chance; many thanks for the upload!

Brahms doesn’t get enough credit as a romantic composer, not romantic in formal musical terms, but in terms of expressing what love is about. There’s no way this and many other pieces of him were not composed by someone in love. But this is rethorical, much more than that Brahms is cinematic. He’s composing for movies already hundreds of years in advance. Few composers had that audacity in them to write so “modern” and fresh. Back to his days his music must’ve been even more sensational.

Not only is the opening theme quoted from the transition passage of the recapitulation from the 1st movement of Schumann's 3rd, the exact same theme appears at bar 70 from the second movement of Schumann's 1st symphony. Moreover, in both works, the home key is Eb major and the theme is played in G.

What a perfectly formed work this is!
I’m on a Brahms kick at the moment. There’s something about the gushing romanticism from within the strict forms, that I really enjoy

I know the third movement is beautiful and all but what about the harmonic progression from 15:39 to 15:56? I can't get over how majestic and beautiful this sounds
