About
Hard to believe, but it's an actual question in the Dutch version of Trivial Pursuit:
Which composer was well known for shooting at stray cats with bow and arrow?
Answer: Johannes Brahms.
Only quite recently, it was revealed that Brahms did not in fact undertake these cruel acts. Rather, his fellow composer, Richard Wagner, invented this story about Brahms, allegedly out of sheer dislike of his music.
Two masters, Munich-based Australian pianist Michael Leslie and Dutch saxophonist Niels Bijl, present some of the most beautiful works from the Romantic era, in arrangement for saxophone and piano.
PROGRAM
Johannes BRAHMS Clarinet Sonata in E-flat major, Op. 120, no. 2
Robert SCHUMANN
Fantasiestücke, Op. 73
Adagio (Romanze) und Allegro
Ethel SMYTH Cello Sonata in A minor, Op. 5
Tickets $29 / $22
