The third movement of Johannes Brahms' final symphony, Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98. Replacing the traditional scherzo with a spirited rondo-sonata form (Allegro giocoso), it showcases dense contrapuntal textures and powerful orchestral sonorities featuring piccolo, contrabassoon, and triangle.
Featured on Yes's landmark fourth studio album Fragile (1971), this solo contribution by keyboardist Rick Wakeman translates the movement into an electronic multitrack arrangement. Wakeman painstakingly substituted orchestral sections with multiple keyboards, including the Minimoog, Mellotron, and electric piano.
Deconstructed the Late Romantic symphonic orchestra into an early-1970s multi-tracked analog synthesizer ensemble.
