Written during the summer of 1884 and 1885, the first performance of
lU

Brahms’ Fourth Symphony took place in October 1885 with the composer
r

conducting; it has been part of the standard symphonic repertoire ever since.
The third movement is good natured and boisterous, featuring delicate, even
P
a

humorous episodes that contrast its energetic opening. Faithful to Brahms’

eg

original scoring, this arrangement gives each “choir” of instruments

(woodwind, brass, and strings) a chance to shine and display their own
individual sound and personality. All string parts remain in first-position
L

throughout. Includes violin III (viola treble clef) and piano accompaniment
parts—scored for several percussionists (up to five players).
