Relayed to London and Daventry
ONLY in middle age did Brahms begin to write
Symphonies. This is a work of his full maturity, written when he was fifty. Its first performance was given in Vienna, under Richter (afterwards so well known in this country), and as each Movement ended, there arose excited applause and also hissing. Very soon the work settled down as a solid success, and for forty years it has been one of the unfailing delights of the concert room-a work of true power, depth, and sweetness, the product of a noble mind.
There are four Movements-a quick, big-spirited one, a gentle song-like one, a romantically melancholy one, and another quick and vigorous one.
