Brahms's Symphony No. 2*
Johannes Brahms humorously told his publisher about his Second Symphony, ‘I have never written anything so sad, so minor the score should be published with a black border.’ While Brahms’s music is never devoid of melancholy, the almost carefree Second Symphony earned its 'Pastoral' nickname for good reason. This piece exemplifies his symphonic brilliance, brimming with vibrant, lively melodies.
