38 - Johannes Brahms, pt. 5 "Gordian Knots"
The Great Composers Podcast - a classical music podcast - A podcast by Kevin Nordstrom
In Ep. 38 we pick up with Johannes Brahms and Clara Schumann in the weeks following Robert Schumann's death in July 1856, trying to make sense of their relationship and love. They have a crucial, incredibly difficult decision to make and its consequences will color the rest of their lives. All the while, Brahms struggles to complete his first piano concerto in d minor.
