Academic Festival Overture

Brahms's Op. 80, composed in 1880 and first performed at Breslau (Wrocław in modern-day Poland), on 4 January 1881, in acknowledgement of the honorary degree of doctor of philosophy, conferred on him by Breslau University in 1879. The thematic material is taken from German students' songs. The Tragic Overture (1880–81) was written as a companion piece.
