Melody without measure.
 
Before Brahms, most composers enjoyed the short melody — succinct, concise, to the point. But in his Violin Concerto and Double Concerto for Violin and Cello, Brahms reveals melodies that are, in best sense of the word, endless. Gradually unraveling them before our very ears like some ball of yarn, Brahms keeps the listener hanging on a thread until his theme comes to a magnificent close.
