The widely held yet untenable assumption that the E minor chaconne in Brahms's Fourth Symphony is based on the final chorus of Cantata BWV 150 by J. S. Bach has its roots in a dubious anecdote attributed to Siegfried Ochs. Among numerous chaconne (passacaglia) themes between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries that ostensibly could have served as a model, several resemble Brahms's E minor subject more closely than Bach's cantata theme. Notably, the theme of Beethoven's C Minor Chaconne (WoO 80) is strikingly similar to significant features of Brahms's theme. In fact, the overall form of Beethoven's variations cycle is nearly identical to the design of Brahms's final movement. Since it is known that Brahms was intimately familiar with Beethoven's piano chaconne—from 1856 on he performed the work repeatedly—everything points to its having served as the actual model for his symphonic chaconne.
