I started with "Brahms, Part 1: The Early Years", and I followed with Brahms, Part 2: The Chamber Music Years".
On Friday, it's "Brahms, Part 3: The Orchestral Years", which will cover the German Requiem through the Third Symphony. I hope I make all this stuff understandable to our folks.

Good evening, Publius...((HUGS))...looking forward to more Brahms.
To: ConorMacNessa
"...taking my youngest son to the Friday Evening Parade at Marine Barracks Washington."I'm jealous....a couple pictures would be nice. d:o)
To: Kathy in Alaska
The best way to handle all that Brahms music is to bookmark the thread, and come back any time after to just wallow in the music.
