Johannes Brahms: The Trios for Piano, Violin, and Cello. Istomin, Stern, Rose. Columbia M2L360/M2S760 Igor Stravinsky: Symphony in E Flat, Opus 1. The Columbia Symphony conducted by Igor Stravinsky. Columbia MS6989/ML6389

THE SECRET OF ART is to be able to count to four and get five, and make it stick. It is to set up a pattern, one two three four, and when you have your audience well in hand let them understand that after four there comes four and a little bit, and if they are patient and good they shall have five in due course. Where there had been four, which they would have understood without you, there is now something more than four, although the oompah oompah beat has not been destroyed— and if art is in good form the audience will tag along and say yes, there is a good deal more in one two three four than we might have dreamt of under our own steam, and thank you very much.
