    This is a brilliant analysis and commentary on what is one of the most gorgeous melodic inventions in the history of music. That movement is actually in the form of a minuet, but goes far beyond anything in that form that had ever been created. I've played that symphony as an orchestra member, and the entire 4-movement work is one of the most beautiful things ever created. Johannes Brahms was a man uniquely endowed with an insight into a realm far more beautiful and exquisite than what we could possibly ever experience in this world or in this life. To God alone be the glory for this marvelous man's music!

      For many decades in the mid 20th century Brahms was dismissed as a pale imitation of Beethoven, a composer that offered nothing original or worth paying attention to. That assessment kept many people from discovering the truth, that Brahms was an astoundingly original composer, and a true "school of one". No one else sounds like Brahms. He took traditional forms and made astonishing new music with them.

    The melody instantly struck me as being familiar, and after some time trying to remember where I recognized it from, I found it: Stan Getz's intro to Jacques Brel's ballad "If You Go Away" as a featured accompaniment to a recording sung by acclaimed jazz vocalist Helen Merrill.
    The influence of this Brahms melody is delicately woven into the recording and sounds so natural. I was further astonished after reading Brel's piece and finding that the melodic figures he wrote for the piece were also strongly influenced by earlier classical pieces, including one passage inspired by Franz Liszt's great Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6.
    Fascinating details. It really shows the influence contemporary writers have on the classical eras of the past.

These days, they call garbage music Masterpieces (because the music may have sold a gazillion records, or was downloaded 400 million times)!

    Take a look at the meter and the melody. Brahms has written a lovely Viennese waltz. What makes it do melancholy is that he’s moved the upbeats from the conventional third-beat position to the DOWNBEAT of the ensuing measure. Try humming the tune relocating the “upbeats” to their conventional position and you’ll see that the intense pathos is gone. By the time Brahms finished this symphony in 1883, the waltz had long been the replacement movement for the Classical minuet-a disconcerting vestige of the bygone glory of the court of Louis XIV. By the close of the 19th century, the waltz had become a bit of musical nostalgia. This view of the waltz was explored by Maurice Ravel as well-in La valse.

    I cried when hearing this..
    Oh, not because it was sad, but because it was an excerpt I played for an audition.
    All those awful memories of practicing it over and over lmao

    Thanks for your kind words, Wolf. I'm glad to have something that gives me so much pleasure to remember him by. Good for you for wanting to pass on the tradition! I hope your kids will realise what a gift you're giving them. Aren't the Variations wonderful. I have a recording of them with the 2nd symphony (my favourite) that I listen to regularly. It's special because Dad gave it to me. ❤

    The best thing about this video is that we did not have to "start at the beginning": Who was Brahms? What is a heart? How does it get "wrenched" and what is the history of this going back to prehistoric times? And what exactly is a melody and here are 80 examples to illustrate sprinkled with dozens of cut-aways, jokes, and puns that I think are funny. And all this before we can start the actual subject of the video. Thank you for making a video for people who are not 14 with no understanding of anything in the world.

      It’s the main theme in the Mario Lanza movie ‘Because You’re Mine’ (1952). In the movie, he sings this melody as ‘The Song Angels Sing’.

    It's rival in Brahms's canon must be the slow movement form his 3rd piano quartet. Although he wrote alot of haunting stuff, such as the first movement of his 2nd string sextet.

    If I heard the waft of 1:06 as I was leaving this mortal coil I would feel my time was plumb and level, adversity forgiven or sued for peace,
    progeny launched to prosperity, I to posterity,
    floating in the arms of Morphos and gazing across the Elysian Fields, while drifting down the eternal, alluvial now.

    The title' s "Heart-wrenching" is so perfectly well-suited that I loved it so much, I felt paralyzed to replay it. It's so overwhelming that it intimidated me.
    Totally out-of-this-wordly!!!

      Just tried to replay and stopped upon noticing how he masterfully tricked the tempo to sound as a 4/4 beat at first before fully realizing it at 3/8, which again kinda proceeded as a 6/8. All that through melodic structuring. Then, speaking of the melody, it's like an unsettling dialog between 2 eternal foes, intranched in their views so much that, each time one party offers an argument, the other counters with a more pronounced one. Argument 1 "C-D-Eb", counter-argument 1 "E-F-D", argument 1 repeated, pronounced Counter-argument 1 "Bb-Ab-D", pronounced Argument 1 "D-Eb-F", and it goes on and on...
      I had to stop ✋️. I will go back to it another day. It's just too much for one day!!! (That's only 8 bars in)

    I get that, rc. Dad could be difficult too and quite cutting when he spoke to Mum, me and my siblings. He mellowed in later life but I think we all had self esteem issues from his treatment. I'd like to think I learnt from his example which of his good characteristics to adopt and which ones to reject. Hope I've been successful. Good luck with your journey.

    I've always been partial to the first movement, but I'll admit there's something special about the third. To me, it's contra-Beethoven. The image I have of Beethoven is of him walking through the Vienna woods at night, looking into the heavens, and listening to the Music of the Spheres. In this movement, I see Brahms as a brooding presence in the heavens looking down on the plight of Man.

    And like with everything in life. There are those who listen, get carried away, and soul-surf the waves of melodies that were created by a talented human a long time ago - but in such a way that their impact on humans remains timeless.
    And then - there are those to whom Music, or anything that sounds like "Art" - is used to showcase their superior knowledge in music, and they end up presenting their "expertise" in analyzing and interpreting, and speculating about anything - and eventually convince themselves that their talents to talk about music is more important to than those of the composers who actually created that music.
    And - watch next time you are in the audience of a Concert Hall - watch the conductors, the 1st violine, or most of the "musicians" - the stooges who learned to play an instrument - they are now - the Maestros. Hoping for "an encore" which makes them the one and only reason why people showed up.

    Sometimes, people who have had NDE's say that when they "pass' they hear the most breathtakingly beautiful music possible. To that, I would simply say: "Well, I think I have already heard it. I can think of several of them. This is in the top ten, for sure. No, I have no idea how Brahms could possibly have "thought" of this. But he did. And he developed it with the intense beauty that this magnificent tune deserved.

      Santana heard it on the radio while riding a taxi. He told the cabbie to go to Tower Records, where he hummed this tune for them, and they told him it was this symphony, so he bought the record and used the tune.
