One of Hong Kong’s flagship orchestras, Hong Kong Sinfonietta has achieved significant local and international recognition for its passionate performances and innovative programming which have brought music closer to the community.

Since 1999, Hong Kong Sinfonietta has collaborated with an illustrious array of international musicians and groups, including in recent years Nicolas Altstaedt, Vilde Frang, Ilya Gringolts, Martin Helmchen, James MacMillan, Sergei Nakariakov, Krzysztof Penderecki, JeanGuihen Queyras, Fazıl Say, Dmitry Sitkovetsky, The Royal Ballet, English National Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet and Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch. A regular participant at all the major festivals in Hong Kong including the Hong Kong Arts Festival and French May Arts Festival, the orchestra also partners regularly with Hong Kong Ballet in their staged productions.

As an avid believer of keeping music alive and contemporary, Hong Kong Sinfonietta – the Venue Partner of the Hong Kong City Hall since 2009 – performs year-round with over 100 performances a season, presenting not only standard orchestral repertoire but also more than 70 newly commissioned works over the past 20 years, as well as launching in 2006 the HKS Artist Associate scheme, which provides a platform for intensive collaboration with local artists from different arts disciplines to expand the horizon of classical music.

The orchestra has enjoyed many triumphs with cross-genre productions such as A Soldier’s Story, The Passage Beyond in Concert and Pica Pica Choose, which melded dance and theatre with music to wide critical acclaim. It also became the first local orchestra to appear on the cinema screen in 2020 with its groundbreaking Back On Stage concert film series, and in 2021 further ventured into the cinematic world by co-curating the “Life is Art” film festival with MOViE MOViE. Always breaking down barriers between music and the general audience, Hong Kong Sinfonietta holds specially-designed concert series for different audiences and age groups, including Good Music for Babies/Kids, Short-cut to Classical Music, Know Your Classical Music and HKS McDull Music Project, and recently filmed the Tiny Galaxy Concerts online series featuring chamber music

performances recorded at a fascinating hostel in Hong Kong. The orchestra’s discography includes CDs of works by Chinese composers on HUGO, and three double-CD albums This is Classical Music on DECCA which have been awarded Platinum and Gold Records. In 2018, The Passage Beyond in Concert by Leon Ko, was released on DECCA. Thriving on its strong local roots combined with an ambitious international vision, Hong Kong Sinfonietta has been invited to perform on tour in North America in Canada and New York City; in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay in South America; in Europe at prestigious festivals in France including Festival International de Piano La Roque d’Anthéron and Festival de Musique Menton, in Germany at Gezeitenkonzerte Ostfriesland, at Beethoven Easter Festival in Poland, in Switzerland at Tonhalle Zürich, Geneva Victoria Hall and Fribourg, at festivals in Italy including the Festival Pianistico Internazionale di Brescia e Bergamo, in Portugal at the Marvão International Music Festival, and in Lithuania; in China at China Shanghai International Arts Festival (Expo 2010), in Beijing at the National Centre for the Performing Arts; in Japan at La Folle Journée and Asia Orchestra Week; in Korea at the Tongyeong International Music Festival and in Singapore at the Esplanade, and at National Concert Hall Taipei and National Taichung Theater. In 2018, the orchestra organised the 1st Hong Kong International Conducting Competition, which attracted 310 applications from 49 countries/regions. The 2nd Competition will take place in March 2023.

Hong Kong Sinfonietta has gone from strength to strength under the direction of Yip Wing-sie – one of Asia’s most respected conductors who was the orchestra’s Music Director from 2002-2020 and Music Director Emeritus since 2020. She remains responsible for the artistic development of the orchestra alongside Principal Guest Conductor and Music Director Designate Christoph Poppen, who will officially begin his term in April 2023. 香港小交響樂團有限公司是註冊之慈善團體。 The Hong Kong Sinfonietta Limited is a registered charity. 香港灣仔譚臣道 98 號運盛大廈 3樓 3/F Winsan Tower, 98 Thomson Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong 電話 Tel : (852) 2836 3336 電郵 Email: enquiries@hksinfonietta.org 網址 Website: www.HKSL.org

Conductor, soloist, chamber musician and pedagogue, Christoph Poppen has made a name for himself in diverse roles in the international musical world, and was recently appointed Music Director of Hong Kong Sinfonietta from the 2023/2024 season. As Hong Kong Sinfonietta’s Principal Guest Conductor since 2015, he has presented to the Hong Kong audience a rich repertoire ranging from Austro-German masterpieces to contemporary works, brought the orchestra on tour to Germany and Portugal, and taken up the position of Co-chair of the Hong Kong International Conducting Competition. As the orchestra’s new Music Director, he will oversee the artistic development of the orchestra and work closely with Music Director Emeritus Yip Wing-sie to create inspiring and innovative programmes, bringing music closer to all.

During the current season, Poppen continues his close and highly successful collaboration with the Cologne Chamber Orchestra in his role as Principal Conductor, and with the Israel Chamber Orchestra as Principal Guest Conductor, while being the Artistic Director of the Marvão International Music Festival. Other highlights in the season include appearing with the Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto Casa da Música and return visits to the Deutsche Radiophilharmonie Saarbrücken Kaiserslautern, Munich Chamber Orchestra and Athens State Orchestra, as well as the continuation of his recorded cycle of the complete Mozart Masses with the Cologne Chamber Orchestra for the Naxos label.

From 1995 to 2006, Poppen was Artistic Director of Munich Chamber Orchestra, establishing the ensemble’s new profile in a short period of time.

His distinctive programmes, often contrasting classical and contemporary styles with numerous commissioned works, were highly successful. In 2006, Poppen was appointed Music Director of Radio Symphony Orchestra Saarbrücken and from 2007 until 2011, he was Music Director of the newly formed Deutsche Radio Philharmonie. He has appeared with orchestras such as Vienna Symphony, Staatskapelle Dresden, Deutsches

Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Detroit Symphony, Orchestra Philharmonique de Radio France, Bamberg Symphony, Camerata Salzburg, Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra, Residentie Orkest, Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo, Indianapolis Symphony, Seoul Philharmonic, New Japan Philharmonic and Singapore Symphony Orchestra. He also has a strong presence in Italy, performing regularly with the country’s leading orchestras and at festivals such as the Venice Biennale, as well as giving masterclasses.

Founded by Poppen in 2014, the Marvão International Music Festival has grown to become a highly successful and award-winning musical event featuring soloists such as Jörg Widmann, Augustin Hadelich, Javier Perianes and Clara-Jumi Kang. As an opera conductor, he has enjoyed acclaimed collaborations with Staatsoper Stuttgart, Oper Frankfurt, Opera Köln, Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa, Aalto-Musiktheater in Essen and the RuhrTriennale.

As a prize-winning violinist, Poppen co-founded the Cherubini Quartet in 1978. He was appointed Professor of Violin and Chamber Music at Hochschule für Musik Detmold, and later at Hanns Eisler Hochschule für Musik in Berlin, where he was President from 1996 to 2000. From 2001 to 2005, he was Artistic Director of the renowned ARD International Music Competition. In 2019, he founded the International Academy for Music, Arts and Science in Marvão, Portugal. Between 20202022, he was the Artistic Director of the Classic Revolution Festival in Seoul, South Korea, for which he curated highly inventive programmes and united many of the best international artists for performances exclusively at the Lotte Concert Hall.

Since 2003, he has been Professor of Violin and Chamber Music at Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Munich. He is also the current Chair Professor of Violin at the prestigious Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid, an appointment which began in the 2021/2022 academic year.

節目介紹 害怕在無風的海上停航，然後又因為可以繼續前進而感到喜悅，最後終於完成了 旅程；一首新的協奏曲，作曲家明言受到作曲家/指揮家納森（Oliver Knussen）之死的 影響；還有一首在充滿田園風光的夏日假期構想的交響曲；這些都在今晚的音樂會中 出現了。 1828年，孟德爾遜在創作《寂靜的海與順風的航行》時只有21歲，當時他還在柏林就 讀大學。那是他三首關於海的序曲的第一首，其餘兩首是1830 年的《赫布里底群島》 （The Hebrides，作品26）和1833年的《美麗的梅露西娜》 （The Fair Melusine，作品32） 。 他在畢業前其實沒有航海的經歷（只在1824 年看過波羅的海一次）。他在創作《赫布 里底群島》時，還曾受過暈船之苦。但那是題外話了。 安德森新的、題獻給今場音樂會的獨奏家的大提琴協奏曲，中間部份以一段他為紀念 他的朋友、良師和作曲家納森的讚美詩完結。納森在 2018 年 7 月 8 日忽然去世。大提 琴自然是向亡友表達哀悼之情的理想樂器，它有著響亮柔和的音色，可以拉奏綿延不 斷的旋律線，還從低至高涵蓋了廣闊的音域。安德森談到此作品與近年創作的協奏曲 之聯繫： 「《禱告》是我自 2015 年起創作的第三首協奏曲，在此之前有小提琴協奏曲《在柔 媚的湛藍之中》（In Lieblicher Bläue ， 2014-2015）和鋼琴協奏曲《想像博物館》 （The Imaginary Museum，2016-2017） 。這三首作品試圖以三種不同方法更新協奏 曲曲式。第一首的方法是基於空間/劇院的特質：小提琴家站在舞台以外，然後在 樂隊旁邊，再站回獨奏者正常的位置，最後再背向聽眾。這些方法對鋼琴或大提琴 都不可能適用 — 它們都不是可以隨意移動的樂器。在《想像博物館》，傳統的 協奏曲式被擴大為六個截然不同的樂章，每一樂章都有一個不同的虛擬『位置』， 喻意是一段想像的旅程。 「在《禱告》中，我直接用上傳統的三樂章協奏曲式，而且，三個樂章的順序也是 傳統的快－慢－快形式。然而，三個樂章一氣呵成，中間亦有許多交叉的聯繫， 因此效果是刻意地含糊的。」 說到大提琴，布拉姆斯在談及朋友德伏扎克的大提琴協奏曲時，表示假使他一早知道 這種樂器可以發出如此的聲音，他自己也會寫一首大提琴協奏曲了（他也許忘了，他 之前的一首管弦樂曲就是小提琴和大提琴雙重協奏曲） 。但在其四首交響曲中，他顯示 了他在利用大提琴部深沉的聲線時，是多麼的駕輕就熟，你只要聽聽第二交響曲的開 頭便知道了。這首交響曲緊接著第一首之後面世。經過了 20 年的掙扎，布拉姆斯在 1876年才推出第一交響曲，但他的創作靈感似乎由此一下子得到了解放：第一交響曲 12

是一首相當嚴肅的作品，令人敬畏，且充滿了艱苦的創作概念。但一年後，當布拉姆 斯在寧靜的卡林西亞（Carinthian）湖畔的珀特沙赫（Pörtschach）度假時，一首新的 交響曲便躍然紙上。這個美麗的奧地利度假勝地是如此有助於靈感的滋長，以致布拉 姆斯在接下來的兩個夏天都回到當地，在1878年同樣富有成效地寫出了小提琴協奏曲 （和第二交響曲同一個樂調）和一些室樂作品。 第二交響曲的確充滿了夏日的陽光氣息，甚有德伏扎克式的抒情性，在他其他的交響 曲中這是被淡化了的。有人甚至稱這是布拉姆斯繼史詩式的第一交響曲後撰寫的 「田園」交響曲，像貝多芬在寫出宏偉、充滿宿命感的第五交響曲後，推出的「田園」 交響曲一樣。首演在1877年12月30日於維也納舉行，由李希特（Hans Richter）指揮。 同一個月，布拉姆斯的朋友比爾羅特（Theodore Billroth）寫道：「一種快樂、喜悅的 情調滲透了整首作品。它有著完美、輕鬆流動的澄澈意念和溫暖感覺的所有標記。」

Programme Notes Fear of being marooned at sea with no wind and the subsequent joy of being able to make headway and successfully complete a voyage; a new concerto indelibly affected by the death of the composer/conductor Oliver Knussen; and a symphony conceived on an idyllic summer holiday – all come together in tonight’s concert.

Mendelssohn was just 21 – and at university in Berlin – when he composed his overture Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage in 1828, the first of three overtures based around the sea, the others being The Hebrides, Op 26 in 1830 and The Fair Melusine, Op 32 in 1833. As it happened. he had never sailed on the sea until after university (and had only seen the Baltic once, in 1824), although by the time of composing The Hebrides he had suffered the effects of sea sickness, but that is another story…

The central section of Julian Anderson’s new Cello Concerto, dedicated to tonight’s soloist, ends with a chorale that he composed in memory of his friend, teacher and mentor the composer Oliver Knussen, who had died suddenly on 8 July 2018. Of course, the cello is a perfect instrument to encompass a litany for a dead friend, with its sonorous ability to hold a melodic line, as well as encompass a massive range of pitch, from deep to high. Anderson sets the work in context with other concerti he has recently written: “Litanies is the third concerto I have composed since 2015 – it was preceded by In Lieblicher Bläue (In Lovely Blueness) for violin and orchestra (2014-2015) and The Imaginary Museum for piano and orchestra (2016-2017). These three pieces attempt three different solutions to the problem of renewing the concerto form. In the first, the solutions were partly of a spatial/theatrical nature: the violinist is offstage, then to the side of the orchestra, then in normal soloist position, and finally turns their back on the audience. Such solutions are not possible for either a piano or a cello – they are not portable instruments. In the piano concerto, the concerto form was exploded into a diverse set of six different movements, each with a different virtual ‘location’ – the metaphor was one of an imaginary journey.

“In Litanies the traditional three-movement concerto form is confronted. Moreover, the sequence of the three movements is also the traditional fast-slow-fast. The three movements are played continuously, however, and there are many cross-references between them, so the effect is deliberately ambiguous.”

Talking about the cello, Brahms said of his friend Dvořák’s Cello Concerto that if he had known the instrument could sound like that, he would have composed a concerto for it himself (perhaps he had forgotten his last orchestral work was a Double Concerto for Violin and Cello…). Yet he was a master at utilising the deep sonorities of the cello section in all four of his symphonies – just listen to the opening of the Second. That symphony, amazingly, had followed hard on the First, as if his creative inspiration had been let loose after his 20-year struggle to produce his First Symphony – a very serious work, awesome and tormented in conception –

17

which had eventually seen the light of day in 1876. But within a year a new symphony was pouring onto manuscript paper while Brahms was holidaying at the peaceful Carinthian lakeside resort of Pörtschach. Such was the conducive atmosphere in this beautiful part of Austria, Brahms returned the next two summers, which saw him equally productive, resulting in his Violin Concerto (in the same key of the Second Symphony) in 1878 and a clutch of chamber works.

The Second Symphony glows with the summer sun, and has an almost Dvořákian lyricism, largely underplayed in his other symphonies. It has even been suggested that this is Brahms’ “Pastoral” symphony following his epic First, like Beethoven’s “Pastoral” following his titanic and fateful Fifth. The first performance took place in Vienna on 30 December 1877 under Hans Richter. That same month Brahms’ friend Theodore Billroth wrote: “A happy, cheerful mood permeates the whole work. It bears all the marks of perfection, of the effortless flow of limpid thought and warm feeling.”

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809–1847)

Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage, Op 27 Meeresstille: Adagio – Glückliche Fahrt: Molto allegro e vivace – Allegro maestoso The subject of Mendelssohn’s first sea overture was perhaps suggested to him by slightly older contemporary Adolf Bernhard Marx who, in May 1828, praised Felix in print for fashioning a work based on two Goethe poems “without using Goethe’s words”. There was an implicit criticism here about one of Marx’s favourite composers, Beethoven, as he had disliked Beethoven’s cantata based on Goethe’s poems (Meeresstille und Glückliche Fahrt, Op 112 from 1815, but only published in 1823), for using a chorus to depict a calm sea. Mendelssohn’s overture did not receive

18

its first performance until 7 September 1828, and then only a private one, and he later revised it in 1834, before being published in 1835.

Given the status of Mendelssohn’s family (his grandfather, Moses Mendelssohn, is regarded as the “father of German Philosophy”), it is perhaps no surprise that Felix actually knew Goethe, who was 50 years Felix’s senior. They had first met when Mendelssohn was only 12 and, by all reports, he and “the father of German literature” got on like a house on fire, meeting on other occasions too.

We can only wonder if Felix actually discussed his musical setting of Goethe’s poems, which had been written in 1787 when the author had been becalmed himself of Sicily. Even though Mendelssohn dispensed with the poems, it is perhaps useful to quote them here.

Meeresstille Tiefe Stille herrscht im Wasser Ohne Regung ruht das Meer, Und bekümmert sieht der Schiffer Glatte Fläche rings umher.

Keine Luft von keiner Seite!

Todesstille fürchterlich!

In der ungeheuern Weite Reget keine Welle sich.

Calm Sea Deep stillness reigns over the water Without motion rests the sea, So the skipper looks troubled At the flat surface everywhere.

No breath of air from anywhere!

Terrifying deathly stillness!

Across the immense distance No wave stirs.

Glückliche Fahrt Die Nebel zerreißen, Der Himmel ist helle, Und Äolus löset Das ängstliche Band.

Es säuseln die Winde, Es rührt sich der Schiffer.

Geschwinde! Geschwinde!

Es teilt sich die Welle, Es naht sich die Ferne; Schon seh’ ich das Land!

Prosperous Voyage The mists are torn apart, The sky is bright, And Aeolus releases The fearful bonds.

The winds start rustling, The skipper rouses himself.

Quickly! Quickly!

The waves divide, The distance shortens, I can already see land!

Mendelssohn himself wrote: “I planned the introduction in this way. A note is gently sustained by the strings for a long while, hovering here and there and trembling, barely audible, so that in the slowest Adagio, now the basses, now the violins, rest on the same note for several bars. Everything stirs sluggishly from the passage with heavy tedium. Finally, it comes to a halt with thick chords and the Prosperous Voyage sets out. Now all the wind instruments, the timpani, oboes and flutes begin and play merrily to the end.”

To achieve his goal, Mendelssohn added piccolo, contrabassoon and a (now defunct) serpent as well as a third trumpet to his orchestral palette. He retained Beethoven’s D major for the key, but – in true 19th-century Romantic fashion – created a musical tone picture to emulate Goethe’s words.

And it is probably relevant that Mendelssohn actually took up painting at this time.

The opening Adagio, just 48-bars long (out of 517 bars), lasts nearly a third of the total time, the slow

chordal changes evoking the sense of solitude and ennui such enforced inactivity brings. Then the flute twice introduces a little scurrying phrase which offers the prospect of a change in the weather, and Mendelssohn illustrates this in a 50bar transition passage, molto allegro, as the wind picks up dramatically for the woodwind to burst in with a breezily joyful melody, later tempered by a more sedate, almost hymn-like theme. The overture ends as if the ship has landed, trumpets announcing its arrival in port, and the dying away and quiet ending indicates relief that dry land has – at last – been reached.

Julian Anderson (born 1967)

Litanies (2018-2019) (Asian premiére) Concerto for Cello and Orchestra Co-commissioned by Radio France, Hong Kong Sinfonietta, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, Swedish Chamber Orchestra & Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne

Premiered on 12 February 2020 at Paris’ Auditorium de Radio France with tonight’s soloist accompanied by the Orchestre National de France under Pascal Rophé, Julian Anderson’s Litanies should have arrived in Hong Kong the following month for its Asian première, but world events put paid to that. Now, at last – just shy of three years later – Alban Gerhardt bridges the gap and performs the work tonight.

Litanies, which recently won the 2023 Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition, is Julian Anderson’s third major concerto, a form which proved to be a major focus to his compositions over a six-year period, but it is this Cello Concerto that adopts the most traditional form of the three. It also carries the most concentrated title, as Anderson seeks to reinvent the concerto for the 21st century. But few, if any, cello concerto forbears have required the returning of the fourth string midway through the music.

In his own programme note Julian Anderson writes: “Litanies was two years in the making.

Composing for cellist Alban Gerhardt, a magnificent soloist with an exceptionally wide-ranging musical repertoire, was a key stimulus throughout. In Litanies the cello is re-examined string by string: each is given its own character and colours. Of these the first string (A) is the trigger sound for the whole piece and recurs at the joins between each of the work's three movements, which play without interruption. Starting from that springboard, the music at first playfully explores a lighthearted dialogue between the cellist and the orchestra – they share or swap sounds,

20

passing them back and forth, cheerfully echoing and misunderstanding each other.

“A more intense mood develops in the central slow movement, where we hear the lowest string of the cello for the first time in the first of a long sequence of increasingly passionate and extended melodies. The work becomes a double threnody for the Cathedral of Notre Dame which was destroyed by fire in April 2019 and for my friend and much-missed colleague Oliver Knussen, who died some months before. Chords and melodies appear only to disappear as if gradually melting under intense heat. At the centre of the movement – and the work – comes the traditional cadenza, but with an unusual twist: the cello’s lowest string is tuned down a tone [from C to B-flat], and the whole cadenza is on the harmonics of this retuned open string. It is a sound both luminous and frightening, as the higher the soloist climbs up the string, the more the sounds become like gasps or even screams.

Against this a monstrous pulse is heard in the orchestra, gradually slowing down to a point of standstill: there is a sense of time running out. Finally, the cellist leads the orchestra in a hymn of praise – a tribute to a departed friend and a memorial to a 37-year-long friendship.

“Out of the final chords the last movement springs to life, defiant, dancing. As the dancing gathers strength, a new soloist challenges the cellist to a duel: the percussionist interrupts the cello with increasing force, finally attempting a cadenza of its own ‘as if at all costs to stop the progress of the music’ (in the words of Carl Nielsen, whose Fifth Symphony includes an analogously destructive percussion cadenza).

The coda takes off in a different direction: the cellist sings climbing ecstatically higher and higher, eventually disappearing off into the ether. This conclusion was inspired by the beautiful final lines of the Noh-play Hagoromo

by Zeami, as translated by Arthur Waley:

‘...Past the Floating Islands, through the feet of the clouds she flies Over the mountain of Ashitaka, the high peak of Fuji, Very faint her form, Mingled with the mists of heaven; Now lost to sight.’

“Programme music? Perhaps. But why not, if the context justifies it?”

Johannes Brahms (1833–1897)

Symphony No 2 in D, Op 73 Allegro non troppo Adagio no troppo – L’istesso tempo ma grazioso Allegretto grazioso (quasi andantino) – Presto ma non assai – Tempo primo Allegretto con spirito Unlike Mendelssohn’s overture, Brahms’ orchestral works have no suggestion of programmatic influences. In this sense he was the

true successor to Beethoven, and no composer since has achieved such outstanding success within these given parameters. He was not interested in opera or in the line taken by his contemporary Wagner: his music is total music with no need for extra-musical references, and his Second Symphony is one of his greatest.

From a technical point of view, the opening cello and bass phrase (D–C-sharp–D) becomes the germ for each of the movements (sometimes with the semitone turn moving up rather than down) but the inspiration is seamless and there is no feeling of artifice in the ebb and flow of the music. As ever with Brahms, he delights in slightly off-balancing the listener. Here triplets play against duplets, themes are started on off-beats (a favourite trick, of his mentor Robert Schumann) and mood changes are handled with great skill and subtlety proving that, however long it took Brahms to feel at home with symphonic form, he was a master when he finally put pen to manuscript paper.

With the first three movements revelling in triple time, the work very much has the feeling of a homage to the Viennese waltz or Austrian Ländler.

However, despite the relaxed opening with both first and second subjects calm and lyrical, the first movement is not totally bathed in sunshine.

triplets disappear, leaving pulsing horn and timpani to close the movement.

Brahms’ playful combination of triple and duple times is again to the fore in the third movement.

In G major, this is a combination of variation and

rondo form, and takes the place of the earlier symphonic minuets (Mozart and Haydn) and later scherzos (Beethoven and Bruckner). Opening in 3/4, with oboe over pizzicato strings, the main Allegretto grazioso theme is repeated twice with two sections separating each, both marked Presto ma non assai. The first of these is the main theme skilfully transmuted into 2/4 time (with more than a reminiscence of Tchaikovsky); the second takes a subsidiary idea from the first theme and treats it in 3/8 time (is there a Scottish resonance here?).

Trumpets, trombones, tuba and timpani are omitted entirely and the whole movement is delicately scored, once again ending quietly.

The spirited Finale starts quietly, with sotto voce strings and gentle wind solos. But Brahms is lulling us into a false sense of security. Suddenly the theme is played with full force – high-spirited energy and brilliance being the movement’s hallmarks. A slight relaxing in pace ushers in the second subject, warmly resonant for strings, which 22
