Cousin Dick Zukerman shares thoughts on great Opus 90 works in the repertoire:
90 is a good year. As one experienced in its impact and reality, I am pleased to contribute to a senior cousin’s ascendency to our exalted plateau. Here goes
Dvorak Opus 90 is the Dumky Trio. What a great way to start the year!
Beethoven was there earlier with his piano sonata #27, another Opus 90. {fortunately missing “Les Adieux” by 1]). Too difficult to play, with my waning piano technique which was never there.
Schubert managed a very decent “Impromptu” under the all important #90
But Brahms hits the jackpot with His Third Symphony. A Massive Opus 90 good for 47 minutes of intense birthday celebration.
Happy Birthday, Joe.
