Brahms Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68, 4th movement

Herbert von Karajan, Berliner Philharmoniker

In a classical music book I read before, I came across a description that Mendelssohn was not as good as Mozart, Bruckner was not as good as Bach, and Brahms was not as good as Beethoven. I thought it was something like that, but I have a little objection about the last Brahms.

If you listen to the sound honestly, no matter how you listen to it, Beethoven is not as good as Brahms. Beethoven's sound is "too made" and "too theatrical". Goethe, a contemporary, commented on Beethoven's music as "too exaggerated." If you listen to Beethoven's music from such a point of view, even one! There is nothing that can be called a masterpiece.

On the other hand, Brahms was greatly intimidated by Beethoven and was unable to write a symphony, but when he did write it, the 4th movement of Symphony No. 1 was extremely moving. It is somewhat redundant, poisoned by Beethoven's thesis of emotional repression and release. However, I think Brahms is several orders of magnitude better than Beethoven even if it is subtracted. To begin with, Brahms is very honest in his sound creation. He is better at that than Beethoven, who overworks his work.

ブラームス交響曲第一番ハ短調作品６８、４楽章

以前読んだ、クラシック音楽の本で、メンデルスゾーンはモーツァルトに及ばず、ブルックナーはバッハに及ばず、ブラームスはベートーヴェンに及ばず・・・と言った記述に出会った。そんなものかとも思ったが、最後のブラームスについては、ちょっと異論がある。

素直に音を聴いてみると、どう聴いても、ベートーヴェンはブラームスに及ばない。ベートーヴェンの音は、「作り過ぎていて」「芝居掛かり過ぎている」。同時代のゲーテは、ベートーヴェンの音楽を「大袈裟すぎる」と寸評した。そういった観点からベートーヴェンの曲を聴くと、一曲も！名曲と呼べるものはない。

一方、ブラームスは、おおいにベートーヴェンに威圧され、なかなか交響曲を書けなかったが、いざ書いてみると、交響曲第1番４楽章など、きわめて感動的ではないか。感情の抑圧と解放といった、ベートーヴェンのテーゼに毒され、幾分冗長ではあるが、それを差し引いても、ブラームスのほうがベートーヴェンより数段優れていると考える。そもそも、ブラームスは、音作りが大変素直である。手を加えすぎるベートーヴェンより、その点でも優れている。
