Symphony No. 1 in C minor and the Variations on a Theme by Haydn, Op. 56 are orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1876 and 1873 respectively. The symphony employs late-Romantic orchestration, expansive sonata structures and a dramatic trajectory, while the Variations use classical forms and contrapuntal technique to reinterpret a Classical-era theme, together representing Brahms's synthesis of Romantic expressiveness with Classical models at a pivotal point in his career.
