Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68 - Johannes Brahms
Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68 by Johannes Brahms
Brahms completed his first symphony in 1876 with the premiere performance being given in November the same year in Karlsruhe, in the Grand duchy of Baden. According to Brahms, he began composing the symphony in 1855, but would take a further 21 years to complete.
The work was well received at the premiere, with some critics commenting that it could be considered Beethoven’s 10th symphony due to similarities in the tone and the use of some musical idioms from the 9th symphony.
The work is comprised of four movements:
I. Un poco sostenuto 00:00 — Allegro – Meno allegro
II. Andante sostenuto 13:50
III. Un poco allegretto e grazioso 22:48
IV. Adagio 27:37 — Più andante — Allegro non troppo, ma con brio – Più allegro

The identify of who the ‘Elise’ is that this piece was dedicated to has not yet been confirmed, however some likely candidates have been proposed.

WILLI
RossiniWilliamTellOverture
William Tell: Overture by Gioachino Rossini
This opera was composed in 1829, and would be the last opera Rossini wrote. It is based on a play by German playwright Friedrich Schiller, which was in turn inspired by the 13th century Swiss folk hero who allegedly assassinated the despotic reeve Albrecht Gessler in the Swiss city of Altdorf.
The full opera is approximately four hours in length, resulting in any performances of the opera having cuts made to the playlist. The theme of the opera, that of a revolutionary figure striving against government tyranny, has also led to parts of the opera being censored.
