Very, very sad to hear you say that. From an orchestration POV alone...

Brahms was the man. The way he could dovetail orchestral colors is just...wow.

His piano works--even the hackneyed Intermezzo that every piano student plays--is so tight: there's not one redundant note. When it comes to efficiency, Brahms is second only to Bach.

Ironically, I would have agreed with you during the CD era: Brahms on CD sounds just awful, (Dvorak as well) because of all the string writing above the stave.

Brahms is subtle, no doubt: a lot of his gorgeous chord progressions fly by so fast, you might as well be driving with R Strauss on Route 66--and he refuses to stop at the dinosaur gas station.
