He'd never bother to tell Clara that he loves her because he knew Clara is already happy with her husband...

Very nice tribute set to one of Brahms's most heartfelt creations. And a very expressive interpretation of this movement.Composed when he was 50, the 3rd Symphony seems to be Brahms's reconciliation to bachelorhood. It's built on the motto F-A-F, symbolizing "Frei aber Froh" (free but happy). This tender love duet (low instruments answered by high) is a dance, but also wistful lovers farewell. I imagine the words "Clara, ich liebe dich"in the opening phrase.
