Brahms Unlockedpresents a simplified and concise arrangement of his magnificent 3rd Symphony. The first movement begins with a statement (F-Ab-F) which is broadly assumed to represent Brahms’ personal motto, frei aber froh (free but happy). He often reminded friends that “I speak through my music.” All four movements are represented.
