Further works

Following the success of his First Symphony, Brahms composed three more, choosing to conclude his Fourth Symphony (1885) with a thrilling passacaglia—a Baroque form that develops its material over a constantly repeating bass line. Brahms’s symphonies may seem conservative in comparison to those who succeeded him—such as Gustav Mahler, whose First Symphony heralded a new direction when it burst onto the scene in 1889—but Brahms’s development of earlier forms and processes would prove influential for a whole generation of modernists.
