Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major (Op. 83)

The composer called it "a tiny little piece with a wisp of a scherzo" but it is, in fact, one of the grandest, and most complex concertos ever written. Chris de Souza explores how Johannes Brahms combined the symphony and the concerto in his Piano Concerto No. 2.
