In writing for the orchestra, Brahms's independent approach brought unusual dramatic power and intensity to his compositions. Those qualities are strikingly evident in three of the most popular and most frequently performed works in the orchestral repertoire, reproduced here in full score: \u003ci\u003eAcademic Festival Overture\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTragic Overture\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eVariations on a Theme\u003c\/i\u003e by Joseph Haydn.\u003cbr\u003eThis volume reprints, complete and unabridged, the scores of all three orchestral works from the authoritative Breitkopf \u0026amp; Härtel edition, still considered the standard source for the music of Brahms. Included is a new English translation of the Editor's Commentary, which also appears in the original German.\u003cbr\u003eThe Academic Festival Overture, built upon German student songs, is, according to \u003ci\u003eGrove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians, \u003c\/i\u003e \"a very successful and individual \u003ci\u003epièce de circonstance, \u003c\/i\u003e\" while the \u003ci\u003eTragic Overture\u003c\/i\u003e is described as \"a gloomy and impressive movement, full of that peculiar sense of foreboding that so many composers ... have associated with the key of D minor.\" \u003ci\u003eVariations on a Theme\u003c\/i\u003e by Joseph Haydn is renowned for its spontaneity, melodic invention, and delightfully varied orchestral coloring.\u003cbr\u003eStudents, composers, and musicologists will find the handy, inexpensive volume of Brahms's great orchestral favorites a valuable addition to their music libraries and an indispensable reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGerman-born composer Johannes Brahms (1833-97), an important figure of the Romantic era, spent most of his career at the forefront of the Viennese musical scene.
