In 1878, Brahms decided to return to a form he hadn't touched in over a decade -- piano miniatures. We'll hear the result. Kirill Gerstein (keer-IL GER-steyen) perform four of the Eight Piano Pieces from Opus 76. (And he throws in one from Opus 116.) Gerstein's solo recital was recorded in New Lebanon, New York. 15:00
