‘Symphony no. 1’ by Brahms is a piece that’s a favourite amongst musicians, and it may even be the piece I love most. But, composing it was an immense challenge: it took Brahms perhaps twenty years to complete! In this episode I share insights into the piece, I discuss Symphonies, and I conclude my series of episodes on how music works by taking a look at Form.

This episode features the fourth movement from ‘Symphony no. 1’ by the composer Johannes Brahms. I recommend the recording by the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Marin Alsop.
