Academic Festival Overture : ウィキペディア英語版 | Academic Festival Overture ''Academic Festival Overture'' ((ドイツ語:Akademische Festouvertüre)),〔That is, ''Festival-overture for the Academy''; the German word ''Festouvertüre'' connotes a festive or celebratory overture and figures in the titles of Glazunov's ''Festouvertüre'', and Luise Adolpha Le Beau's ''Festouvertüre für großes Orchester'', among others. Brahms' title is generally written in English as ''"Academic Festival" Overture'', but in the German title, the adjective "akademisch" modifies ''Festouvertüre'', not ''Fest''. It is the overture that is festive, not an "Academic Festival" occasioning it.〕 Op. 80, by Johannes Brahms, was one of a pair of contrasting concert overtures — the other being the ''Tragic Overture'', Op. 81. Brahms composed the work during the summer of 1880 as a musical "thank you" to the University of Breslau, which had awarded him an honorary doctorate the previous year. ==Background== Initially, Brahms had contented himself with sending a simple handwritten note of acknowledgment to the University, since he loathed the public fanfare of celebrity. However, the conductor Bernard Scholz, who had nominated him for the degree, convinced him that protocol required him to make a grander gesture of gratitude. The University expected nothing less than a musical offering from the composer. "Compose a fine symphony for us!" he wrote to Brahms. "But well orchestrated, old boy, not too uniformly thick!"〔Jan Swafford, ''Johannes Brahms: A Biography''(1997:462).〕
