More Information:

The 19th century, like the present, enjoyed music that felt popular, and music that felt classical. The Chopin concerto, with its echoes of Italian opera, is a piece rooted in popular melody. The Brahms symphony—glowing with light, shadow, and a burst of sunlight at the end—takes its place in the great Classical tradition.
