Approved

Tortured by comparisons to Beethoven, it took Brahms 21 years to finish writing his first symphony. Some critics hailed the piece as “Beethoven’s Tenth” in recognition of Brahms’ ultimate triumph.
Clara Schumann was the longtime object of the Brahms’ ardent affections. In addition to being an acclaimed virtuosic pianist, she was also a prodigy who finished her only surviving piano concerto two weeks before her sixteenth birthday.
Our newest composer-in-residence makes his California Symphony debut.
