Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Franz Liszt is credited with starting the idea of the symphonic poem, which is a one-movement orchestral work that tells a story or evokes a particular mood or idea, often through the use of programmatic elements. Berlioz also wrote programmatic music, but he did not use the specific form of the symphonic poem that Liszt pioneered. Brahms and Mahler both wrote symphonies, but did not contribute significantly to the development of the symphonic poem.
