Peter Serkin is the son of the great Rudolf Serkin. He's established himself as a consumate artist like his father....he'll play Mozart's 19th Piano Concerto on tonight's "Evening Concert".

If instrumental music is an attempt to capture emotion in sound, is the Brahms 1st Piano Trio an homage to Schumann?
