If many of the melodies in Alexander Borodin's String Quartet No. 2 sound familiar, it might be because you first heard them in the musical Kismet. Today we'll enjoy a performance by the St. Petersburg String Quartet.
Today we'll hear how Mozart captured the Viennese public's craze for Turkish band music in his Piano Sonata, K 331, which includes the Rondo alla Turca.
Today we'll enjoy "Three American Pieces" by Lukas Foss, written in gratitude shortly after he arrived in this country as a refugee from the Czech Republic.
