Young People's Concert: "What Makes Music Symphonic?" / Bernstein · New York Philharmonic

Young People's Concert: "What Makes Music Symphonic?"
with the New York Philharmonic
Written and conducted by Leonard Bernstein
Introduction by John Lithgow

Using the examples of Mozart's Jupiter Symphony and Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony, Bernstein demonstrates the techniques of repetition and variation in the development of symphonic music. After conducting part of Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet", he asks the audience to sing "Frère Jacques," demonstrating the uses of sequence and imitation in symphonic composition. The final movement of Brahms' Second Symphony is then analyzed and played.

In this excerpt, Bernstein discusses the music development.
