Duncan J. Cumming and Hilary Walther Cumming perform
a concert called
“Family Trees,” not only because Brahms was so influenced by Schubert
and in turn so helpful in starting Dvorak’s career, but also because the
four pieces trace through the cycle of life—youth, love, marriage, and
starting a family |
