Brahms never composed another symphony, although he lived long enough to have done so. He knew he had created the perfect work and didn't want to risk anything less than that!
Note in particular the beautiful passacaglia in the last movement: a recurring theme in the bass, accompanied by variations in the higher voices.
Carlos Kleiber's interpretations of the "Fourth" are regarded by many as the finest for this symphony!
