| Abstract |
This book analyses the orchestration of the four symphonies apart from the thematic structure and in the order given, since, in such a synthesized art as Brahms's, the music matters far more than its orchestral presentation. The aim of this book is to endeavour to give those interested a detailed account of the countless hidden beauties that lie in these four symphonies. |
