Host: JENNIFER LUDDEN
Time: 8:00-9:00 PM

JENNIFER LUDDEN, host:

Today is the birthday of composer Johannes Brahms. In his lifetime, he was compared with Beethoven, his predecessor, and Wagner, his contemporary and rival. But composer and writer Jan Swafford says Brahms was a different kind of genius.

(Soundbite of Brahms' "Third Symphony")

JAN SWAFFORD:

This exotic and unclassifiable music from Brahms' "Third Symphony" is an unforgettable intimation of--What? Melancholy? ...
