Brahms wrote three piano trios over the course of his impressive career, and the first two are featured in this weekend's performances. He composed his first trio, Op. 8, when he was just 20 years old. The second was composed much later, when Brahms was 49 years old and in the midst of his mature period of composition. Both are masterpieces that illuminate the progress of his creative life. Sandwiched in between is the Bach Suite No. 1 for solo cello, which is frequently performed and highly recognizable--and for good reason: it reveals the extraordinary range of sound that can be produced by the instrument.
