Indeed. If it was another Mozart scribble I wouldn't bat an eyelid, but it's Brahms, and it's possibly a full miniature, it might be cool.

Whilst this is interesting, one doubts that it is as good as many of the miniatures of the composers who are generally ignored. However, I will wait and see.

You don't think Brahms really wrote his own music?

But how long before Brilliant will be updating The Cube?

I asked myself that question when I heard for the first (and last) time Triumphlied opus 55. Perhaps Bismarck did it.

Well Bismarck certainly was an opportunist.
