The Symphony No. 3 in F major, Opus 90, by Johannes Brahms (* 7 May 1833 in Hamburg, \u2020 3 April 1897 in Vienna) can be seen as absolute music that has no programmatic message. The core idea of this work can be reduced to a small motif of three notes, whereby the composer’s genius is once again revealed in the sophisticated combination, reinterpretation and variation.<\/p>\n
The third movement of the symphony has become particularly famous. Normally, this is laid out as a scherzo in a Romantic symphony. However, Brahms broke with the usual tradition of his era and stylised a simple folk song-like melody into a “valse triste” with harmonic effects and a deeply Romantic orchestration. The character thus resembles that of a melancholy Slavic waltz and a relaxed serenity prevails, which is staged in a highly artistic manner.<\/p>\n
All we know about the making of this symphony is that the 50-year-old Brahms completed it during his summer holidays in Wiesbaden in 1883 – and a little in love with a much younger woman.<\/p>\n
It was premiered on 2 December 1883 with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under Hans Richter in the Vienna Musikvereinssaal. The first edition was published in 1884 by the publisher N. Simrock, Berlin.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, this third movement is one of those pieces of classical music that enjoys general popularity far beyond the circle of friends of the genre.<\/p>\n
This is certainly the reason why musicians from the field of jazz and other musical styles like to take up the piece again and again in a wide variety of arrangements.<\/p>\n
Dietmar Rainer has masterfully realised this transcription for wind orchestra as close to the original as possible.<\/p>\n
