    By combining a violin and cello for thesolo portions of Double Concerto, Brahms was able to create a "super"stringed instrument with sonority and range that neither alone could offer. Itwas composed in the summer of 1887, and first performed on October 18 of thatyear in Cologne, Germany.

    The concert also features Beethoven’sSymphony No7 which was the seventh of the composer’s nine symphonies. Beethovenremains one of the most well-known composers in the modern world. Hissymphonies number only nine; each one unique, each one preparing the way forthe next.
