3rd Sunday Matinee

With his Trio for Horn, Violin and Piano, Brahms wrote one of the most beautiful chamber music pieces of the 19th century. It begins quite unusually with an Andante theme floating in melancholy calm, then plunges into a lively mood quoting folk tunes, which is broken up by flowing, expansive passages. This develops into tender music full of intimacy and melancholy, which ends in a brisk finale.
