Yes, they are - and Elgar, RVW, Tchaikovsky, Tubin, Shostakovich.... etc

[gurnemanz]

For me Brahms 4 is the greatest of all symphonies. Terse, tragic and incontrovertible in its inexorable musical logic.

Right, now I'll step out of Pseuds' Corner and get my coat. Anyone fancy a pint?

Happy to join you for a pint. I like that triangle stuff and the passacaglia. I hope Sanderling and the Staatskapelle can also come along.

[Tristan Klingsor]

Incidentally one notes that there is not a hint of "folk music" in any of Brahms's serious compositions.

Excluding the 2nd movement of the 2nd String Sextet presumably.
