When you are an actor, you end up learning how to do a bunch of different things you never thought you would ever learn. Well, if you're a committed actor, that is. Actors learn how to ride horses, play instruments, make clothes, build furniture, etc. Whatever the role calls for, they put in the time and effort to research and train to be able to passably simulate them on screen. In some cases, they actually get really good at what they are asked to do for a role.
Cate Blanchett, unsurprisingly, is a committed actor. Her body of eclectic and full-throated performances is proof positive of that. Her latest film "TÁR" is no exception. The Todd Field drama receiving positive reviews on its current film festival circuit run, including from /Film's own Marshall Shaffer, sees Blanchett taking on the titular role of Lydia Tár, who is a conductor. As you would probably expect,...

A classicist using Romantic harmonies, Johannes Brahms (1833-97) was hailed at age 20 by Robert Schumann in a famous article entitled "New Paths." Yet by the time Brahms wrote his mature works, his music was thought of as a conservative compared to the daring harmonies and revolutionary dramatic theories of Richard Wagner. But in the next century, Arnold Schoenberg's 1947 essay titled "Brahms the Progressive" praised Brahms's bold modulations (as daring as Wagner's most tonally ambiguous chords), asymmetrical forms, and mastery of imaginative variation and development of thematic material.
The son of a bassist in the Hamburg Philharmonic Society, Brahms was an excellent pianist who was supporting himself by his mid-teens. His first two published works were his Piano Sonatas Nos. 1 and 2, and throughout his career he penned much fine music for that instrument, not only solo (including the later Piano Sonata No. 3) and duo but also his landmark Piano Concertos Nos.
