Brahms was a man 0} middle age, with a good number of important orchestral works to his credit when his Symphony in © Minor was produced in November, 1876, at Karlsruhe. At that time the musiea} world, and especially musical Germany was ‘divided into two opposing sc¢ tions, one proclaiming Brahms as the legitimate successor to Beethoven, and the other secing no good in any of his works. The symphony had been expected for quite twenty years, ani! its production raised the feeling he tween the two camps to fever: heat. "his admirers claiming it as a worthy successor to Beethoven’s .Ninth-Voy sulow called it "The Tenth .Sym-phony’-while his detractors seized upon the pronounced Beethoven feel. ing evident in the work as showing the composer's inability {to invent. an original theme. Looking back to- -day. ind seeing things in truer perspective.
