An all-time favourite piece of music, Brahms Symphony No. 3 in F Major, Op.90 - III. Poco allegretto, has just been played at Fine Music 102.5, a radio station I often listen to. So poignant. So heartwarming. Memories came creeping into my otherwise quite turbulent mind.
This piece is used as soundtrack of a 1961 classic romantic drama movie entitled Goodbye Again, starring Ingrid Bergman, Anthony Perkins and Yves Montand. It was released in Europe as Aimez-vous Brahms?, adapted from a novel by Francoise Sagan, first published in French in 1959, and published in English the following year.
Incidentally, today, 7th of May, marks the birthday of Johannes Brahms, as well as Pyotr Tchaikovsky, two favourites.
Below is a video of Brahms Symphony No. 3 in F Major, Op.90 - III. Poco allegretto, with Maestro Herbert von Karajan conducting the Berlin Philharmonic. (YouTube, uploaded by Nathaniel Adams. Accessed 7 May 2018.)
"Say no more it’s goodbye
As before it’s goodbye
Every move, every sigh
Seems to prove it’s goodbye again."
As before it’s goodbye
Every move, every sigh
Seems to prove it’s goodbye again."
Timely reflections through this piece of music as I decide to take an indefinite break from Facebook, a place I've freely given my time and efforts. Overly... Distanced silences greatly help get things get into perspective.
