Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98 — III. Allegro giocoso

About this work

The only true scherzo in Brahms’s symphonies moves with unusual vigour, reinforced by brilliant percussion.

Follow the string accents, brass replies and sudden changes of density that structure the drive.

Align attacks with timpani and triangle, then lighten repeated material so the energy never becomes ponderous.
