Johannes Brahms, Piano Trio No. 3 in C minor, Op. 101
Dr. Henderson’s introduction of the composition included a description of two motives that unified the four movements, three successive notes moving to a conclusion, and the inclusion of measures in 5/4 and 7/4 time. While these pieces were clear when presented separately, I could not find them embedded within the work. This may be due to the fact that I do not consume classical music on a regular basis. Or these features may become more apparent upon repeated listenings. I spent a substantial amount of brain power trying to find the sour notes. (Dr. Henderson apologized in advance that the piano was extremely out of tune.) I didn’t hear this either. Maybe this was discernible only by those gifted with the sense of perfect pitch.
