Brahms’s First Symphony… or Beethoven’s Tenth?

Listen for free

View show details

Brahms took nearly 20 years to finish his First Symphony—and the result? Mixed reviews, shady nicknames, and a melody that suspiciously echoes Beethoven’s Ode to Joy. In this episode, we dig into the myths, the legacy pressure, and why Brahms wasn’t copying the past—he was fighting it. Get ready for petty quotes, musical ghosts, and the ultimate “not your Beethoven” moment.
