Reading: Todd: 356-394

Listening:
Sonata No. 3 in F minor, op. 5

Variations on a Theme by Handel, op. 24

How does the Sonata show the influence of Beethoven? Schumann? Liszt?
How do these sets of variations reflect Brahms's changing concerns as a composer between 1854 and the 1860s?  Can you identify the influence of Bach here? Schumann? Beethoven?
