✰ Johannes Brahms　ヨハネス・ブラームス　1833 -- 1897　Germany

✥Sinfonie Nr. 2 in D-Dur op. 73 / Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73 / 交響曲第2番ニ長調作品73 : 1877
✍ (premiere:December 30, 1877, was premiered by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Hans Richter. This premiere was a huge success, the third movement was the encore.)

第1楽章の牧歌的な響きから、ベートーヴェンの交響曲第6番「田園」にたとえられ、「ブラームスの『田園』交響曲」と呼ばれることもある。


IV. Allegro con spirito / 第4楽章　アレグロ・コン・スピリート

Busy-sounding (but quiet) strings begin the final movement. A loud section breaks in unexpectedly in bar 23 with the full orchestra. As the excitement appears to fade away, violins introduce a new subject in A major marked largamente (to be played broadly). The wind instruments would repeat this and develops into the other instruments as well. Bar 155 of the movement repeats the symphony's first subject again but instead of the joyful outburst heard earlier, Brahms introduced the movement's development section. A mid-movement tranquillo section (bar 206) elaborates earlier material. The first theme comes in again (bar 244) and the familiar orchestral forte is played. This time, instead of the A major theme in the largamente marking, Brahms allows the theme to be reprised in the symphony's home key of D major. Towards the end of the symphony, descending chords and a mazy run of notes by various instruments of the orchestra (bars 395 to 412) sound out the familiar A major theme again but this time drowned out in a blaze of brass instruments as the symphony ends on a triumphant note by the full orchestra complete with a timpani roll.

Movement four, Allegro con spirito, follows the Beethovenian tradition of having a weighty finale to end the symphony. In this case, Brahms succeed in creating a finale that was worthy enough to step out of the shadows represent the second age of symphony. What is interesting in this movement is how it contrasts the first movement. Not only is this movement faster and in a brighter key, the melodic lines of this entire movement will constantly move in ascending lines, which is exactly opposite of the melody of what the first movement in which it would progress in descending melodic lines.


ニ長調、2/2拍子。ソナタ形式。基本動機に基づく第1主題が弦の弱音で示され、木管も加わるが途切れそうになる。直後に全管弦楽の爆発的な歓呼で確保される。律動的で喜­ばしい経過ののち、ヴァイオリンとヴィオラが穏やかだが情熱を秘めた第2主題を歌う。この主題も基本動機によっている。展開部に入ると賑々しくなるが、やがて収まって第1­主題が弱音で再現する。コーダでは、第2主題の動機が金管で繰り返されて高揚し、歓呼に次ぐ歓呼で全曲が結ばれる。

Fantástico!

@Tenorgeiger  You played in this performance?! That is amazing! Please tell me ANYTHING you can remember about this performance. At the end of the 4th movement, the audience erupts and there are some noises that I first thought were people yelling "boo!" because they felt the tempo was too fast (although I love it). But now I think that perhaps they are yelling "bis, bis!!!" which is how Italians try and induce the performer to do an encore of the same piece. Can you clear this up?

@Tenorgeiger Good for you! I will be playing this piece in two days. Do you still remember anything Kleiber said about this symphony? Bet it must be an awesome experience.

Thanks for sharing this rare footage. The image and sound don't sync though. Sound comes much later.

I had the great privilege of playing in the 1st violin section in this performance.
