Did you love the original version performed the evening before in Zweisimmen? May we offer a second performance of Brahms’ Second Sextet in an arrangement for piano trio by Theodor Kirchner (a friend of Schumann and Brahms who had been active in Zurich for a time)?! It is framed in this concert by two “very sweet” trios by Haydn and Schubert, without whose existence Brahms’ splendid works never would have seen the light of day.
