The first time Johannes Brahms wrote his Piano Quintet, a violinist said it didn't quite work. The second time, Brahms' friend Clara Schumann said nope, still not right. But the third time was a charm. On Monday's Performance Today, we'll hear take three of Brahms' Piano Quintet in concert from Bergen, Norway.
