In each of this series of digital introductory talks, illustrated with music extract examples, former BSO Head of Projects, Andrew Burn, will discuss all the works being performed in the BSO’s autumn series of concerts.
Titans of their respective ages, Haydn and Brahms became synonymous with the musical life of Vienna. Haydn also enjoyed huge success when he visited London during 1791-2 where audiences were thrilled by his new symphonies, such as No.95. Brahms, having composed his Second Piano Concerto on a massive symphonic scale, described it, with ironic understatement, to Clara Schumann as “a very small concerto, with a very small and pretty scherzo.”
