Description: A return to classical traditions may be considered the hallmark of Brahms' music, declares Professor Woodworth. Brahms himself is reputed to have said that music is a drama in which the only players are musical themes. To implement this, he reintroduced the use of counterpoint, strict construction and an intellectual orchestration based on something more than desire for sonority. These changes, says Professor Woodworth, are apparent in works such as his Third Symphony, which is used as a musical example for this program. Not only is this a new effort in musical composition, it is also an interesting use of a nationalistic spirit in music.
