This second statement, though fuller and more heavily scores sounds much less tense than the original. Certainly Brahms could have initially stated the theme in the violins and followed it with the cellos, but it is the stunning and vibrant effect of the cellos at the opening of the movement that captures the listener's attention and makes the opening so engaging."<BR/><BR/>ref: 3rd Movement of Brahm's Symphony No 3Chip Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11591409283730621210noreply@blogger.com
