Symphony No. 3 in F major, Op. 90, is a symphony by Johannes Brahms. The work was written in the summer of 1883 at Wiesbaden , nearly six years after he completed his Symphony No. 2 . In the interim Brahms had written some of his greatest works, including the Violin Concerto , two overtures ( Tragic Overture and Academic Festival Overture ...
A reviewer for the Illustrated London News wrote, "it insistently vulgarises and cheapens a theme from Brahms's Third Symphony". [3] The song "You'll love me yet" (track B3) on the studio album ′′Bach to the Blues′′ (1964) by the Ramsey Lewis Trio is a Jazz adaptation of the third movement.
