Symphony No. 4 & Academic Festival Overture

Album by Johannes Brahms

Symphony No. 4 and the Academic Festival Overture are orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1885 and 1880 respectively. The symphony, his final in the genre, is marked by dense counterpoint, a compact cyclical design and a sombre, autumnal tone, while the overture is a shorter, celebratory piece that juxtaposes academic chorale material with brisk orchestration, together reflecting Brahms's late-period focus on formal clarity and contrapuntal technique.
