It might explain why Brahms comes and goes in fashion. He was huge when I was an undergrad in the seventies to the extent that Rick Wakeman, then keys player with the prog rock band Yes, wrote a piece called 'Cans and Brahms'. He went back out of fashion in the eighties and nineties but now gets a lot of airtime on the classical music station 'Classic fm' quite a bit of concert play and a lot of new recordings.

And have you noticed the comeback of Louis Spohr in recent years?
