Brahms Second

A morning errand, almost there, the radio on a news station. It would be a long segment about something I didn't want to hear, so I pushed button six on the dial. 

The car filled with Brahms, the Second Symphony, the finale. I hadn't heard it in a while, had forgotten how sonorous Brahms can be, how you get swept up in the sound so that nothing else seems to matter.

I only heard the last 10 minutes of the work ... but it was enough.
