Wise Decision

Following the Beethoven. Mr.
Dichter performed five short works
of Brahms. They were three
"Capriccios," a "Ballado," and an
"Intermezzo." Mr. Dichter wisely
chose to play these works in order
of contrast so as to give the effect
of contrasting movements. The
range was from the very docile and
romantic to the very vehement and
powerful.
