Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98 — I. Allegro non troppo

About this work

The first movement grows from a chain of falling thirds from which Brahms draws both melody and developmental tension.

Follow this contour through the different voices, then mark the syncopations that shift weight without interrupting the line.

Connect the long phrases across bar lines and avoid overloading every return of the main motive.
