2 as having a вЂњpastoral, serenade-like quality with moments of somber severityвЂќ. Johannes Brahms German ComposerД¬ritics describe Symphony No. Some think Brahms got his inspiration from folklore вЂ“ the legend of the Origin of Lake WГ¶rthersee. He created the symphony during a holiday on Lake WГ¶rthersee ,В a glacial lake in the Starnberg district of Bavaria. German composer Johannes BrahmsвЂ™ Second Symphony was a sharp contrast to LutoslawskiвЂ™s moreВ avantgarde composition. The finale is the longest movement and has a вЂњdramatic effect through the rise of the sound volume from pianissimo to fortissimoвЂќ. Critics characterize the second movement as a вЂњsyncopated folk tuneвЂќ. The Concerto has three movements beginning with a solemn introduction featuring вЂњtransformed tunes of folk songsвЂќ. ItвЂ™s described as a вЂњrousing concert for orchestra combining the harsh force of Polish folk music with ingenious, futuristic constructionвЂќ. Polish composer Witold LutosЕ‚awskвЂ™s Concerto for Orchestra is вЂњone of the top Polish works of Social RealismвЂќ. Witold LutoslawskiВ Concerto for Orchestra I had a balcony side seat facing the conductor вЂ“ a prefect vantage point for viewing the orchestra in action. The modern concert hall is a theatre-in-the round with stellar acoustics. Paavo JГ¤rvi conducted works by Witold LutosЕ‚awski and Johannes Brahms. Not surprisingly, the performance was sold out. Many consider Berliner Philharmoniker the вЂњworldвЂ™s greatest orchestraвЂќ. IвЂ™ve been looking forward to the concert after hearing praise for BerlinвЂ™s exceptional world-renowned symphony. From what IвЂ™ve seen of local traffic, doubt IвЂ™ll be renting a car and driving. Since IвЂ™ll be in Berlin for awhile, itвЂ™s important to get comfortable riding buses and trams as well as the U-Bahn. Berlin taxis are expensive, and IвЂ™m not sure if theyвЂ™re safe. Passengers on the bus were helpful, and I learned from my mistake. It worked out well, even though I initially went in the wrong direction :o( but figured it out and changed course. Berlin Symphony Getting to the Philharmonic Concert HallДЄfter considering options, I took the M41 bus to Potsdamer Platz and walked about 10 minutes to the concert hall. Since I plan to attend many concerts during my stay in Berlin, this first visit to the Chamber Music Concert Hall was a valuable learning experience. At night, IвЂ™m more confident taking U-Bahn and am a bit leery of walking between connections. There were several transportation choices for getting there from my apartment in Kreuzberg District.
