It's an extrapolation of the initial three-note motive. The feeling of longing is done through Brahms' standard practice of thematic transformation. The canon is beautiful, and well wrought.

BTW your topic says 119. Please don't post in all caps-hurts my eyes

.

The "story" is apocryphal and without truth.

For us musicians, the music of Beethoven is the pillar of fire and cloud of mist which guided the Israelites through the desert. (Roughly quoted, Franz Liszt.)
