Now this is what I call amazing:
Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98: I. Allegro non troppo (Part 1)
Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98: I. Allegro non troppo (Part 2)
Carlos Kleiber / Bavarian State Orchestra

The first theme is one of the most amazing and unique ones in music, for it is effectively made up of just two notes in a falling third, then with the second one raised an octave (which makes it an effective raising sixth) and all the inversions thereof:
Image

If you take away the octave displacement, you get this simple motif (that contains all but one of the diatonic notes in its scope) - Brahms created one of the most hauntingly elegiac themes ever out of thin air:
Image

This actually foreshadows the coming 12-tone compositions and the turn away from tonality, with this magnificent symphony he brought classical/romantic music to its perfect, logical conclusion.

I would respect the crap out of you if you didn't look down on everyone else's tastes in music. Since I don't respect the crap out of you, I just have an inferiority complex, because I don't know as much music theory as you.


In other words, shut up, you suck. Waaah.

Gross generalization, but I'm aware of my douchebaggotry when it comes to music.

Not everyone is lucky enough to/carries the burden of being born into a family of classical musicians. Sides you don't need to know any theory at all to realize that the music of Brahms is fucking amazing, that's the beauty all the best classical has - it's pleasing and emotive on the outside and rewardingly deep, complex and architectured on the inside.

Yeah, there are probably hundreds of different versions on Youtube, but I just posted the original.
