Are the two Brahms pieces listed - the Tragic Overture and the Academic Festival Overture - really pieces of program music? The former has some vague notion of being "tragic", as the title suggests, but there's nothing more specific to it than that, as far as I know. The latter just quotes a few drinking songs, it doesn't even have a vague notion behind it, does it? Or is there more to this than I'm aware? --Camembert

Maybe I was reaching. Now that I think about it, Brahms is a lot less programmatic than even Bruckner! Del arte 20:01, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)
