Brahms - Academic Festival Overture (Pokémon BW Soundfont)
As requested by Ludwig K, here's a rendition of Brahms's Academic Festival Overture.
Despite what its quiet and somewhat formal-sounding beginnings may suggest, the Academic Festival Overture is well-known for being what's easily Brahms's most boisterous and bombastic score, especially near the end.
Having been composed for a ceremony in which a university would award him an honorary doctorate, Brahms supplied an ironic overture, fulfilling the criteria for a serious or academic work while at the same time being filled with quotations of German student songs that the audience would have amusingly recognized. Pretty much all of these are unknown outside the German-speaking world, but they offer a glimpse into the composer's sense of humor,.
