Chattanooga Symphony & Opera to Perform All-Brahms Concert, 10/22
by BWW News Desk - October 16, 2015
October 13, 2015 – Chattanooga, TN – The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera continues its Barnett & Company Masterworks Series with an all Brahms concert on Thursday, October 22. Opening the concert is Brahms' Variations on a Theme by Haydn. Brahms composed the work on a theme entitled 'Chorale St. Antoni' found in a wind ensemble composition. At the time Brahms discovered it, the wind ensemble piece carried an attribution to the composer Joseph Haydn. Brahms titled his own composition accordingly, crediting Haydn for the theme, but publishers in the early nineteenth century often attached the names of famous composers to works by unknown or lesser known composers in order to move inventory. Subsequent research has concluded that the wind piece Brahms used as a source does not fit Haydn's style. Today the wind ensemble piece remains without clear attribution. The situation has led to Brahms's piece being referred to today in recordings and concert programs as the St. Anthony Variations as well as its original title.
