Brahms' 3rd Symphony is often considered a "lighter" symphony than the 4th; by comparison it is less "weighty" based upon modality, major versus minor.
Parphrasing Brahms' "You have no idea what it's like to have HIM looking over your shoulder". The "him" is Beethoven.
Beethoven's 7th Symphony was written 1811-12 (only) two decades after Haydn's 93rd Symphony (1791). What a difference twenty years makes!
