Explanation:

Symphony # 4 is the last of Brahms symphonies is the most clearly romantic of all. It is generally regarded as one of the composer's masterpieces. Composed between 1884 and 1885 it was premiered on 25 October 1885 in Meiningen directed by Brahms himself.

This symphony has several elements based on a "passacaglia" (typical Baroque composition). But this symphony presents the end point in Brahms orchestration art but at the same time and perhaps paradoxically one of the points where Brahms opened a door of beauty and creativity.
