Bonding over Brahms

A few years ago, while driving home, I was pleased to hear the Radio Arts Foundation's station, K297BI 107.3 FM, play one of my favorite Brahms pieces, Serenade No. 1 in D.  When I got home, I turned on K297BI as I told my cat, Sylvia, that one of my favorite pieces was playing.  She came over and listened to the remaining movements with me, including my favorite, the fifth, Scherzo.

I like to think that Sylvia understood me and that she heard what I heard in it.  (A common trait among pet owners, I'm sure...)  Even if she didn't, I'm still glad that we got to hear one of my favorite pieces together.
