Essential Classics Unlocked for Piano - Book 4: Brahms

Brahms Symphony No. 3 in F major was composed during the summer of 1883 and first performed in Vienna later that year. Although it is the shortest of Brahms’s four symphonies, it encompasses a remarkable range of moods, from boldness and restless energy to tenderness and quiet reflection. Unusually, each of its four movements ends softly, giving the work a particularly intimate and poetic character.
