The Classical Music Appreciation Show (CMAS), EPISODE I

Why SUBSCRIBE to The Classical Music Appreciation Show (CMAS)?

Episodes start with a short lecture, then a LIVE performance of a piece or movement of classical music, with the goal to hopefully educate/inspire people who are new to classical music and entertain people who are already classical music appreciators. Heck, if you like the performance enough, you can even buy it at http://shop.rawpp.com (search "Quintet"). And share the show with your friends too!

EPISODE I: Chamber Music Appreciation, Part I

Don't like chamber music? Don't like Brahms? It's probably because you haven't heard the best examples of the genre, the best examples of the composer. Give a listen to the Scherzo of the Brahms Piano Quintet, and then answer those two questions again.

III. Scherzo: Allegro

To hear the complete lecture and all other movements of the Brahms Piano Quintet and much, much more, visit http://shop.rawpp.com and search "Quintet." (Part of proceeds go to well-known causes furthering both human and animal rights. Plus, another benefit to getting our version of the Brahms Piano Quintet is the very detailed program notes we present before we perform -- it's like taking a class in chamber music appreciation!)

This is an excellent performance and the explanations are brief and clear, letting the music speak for itself.
