It has been my mixed pleasure to play the Brahms Trio numerous times at
my annual chamber music conference. The most memorable was when the
pianist was hard of hearing, very enthusiastic, and couldn't count. We
spent so much time stopping & starting, getting lost and usually not
found. There are sections in the piece that simply don't have anything
that can rightly be called a downbeat - a river of notes. While I was
frustrated at the time, now I look back at that session as instructive,
as it prompted me and the violinist to really listen to each other,
trust each other and learn to accommodate to the wiggly piano playing as
best we could.

Indeed! But the piano part is the hardest, next the violin, and least
hard is the horn part.
I found it hard (both on hand horn and valve horn)
Don't know what the pianist was whingeing about - she had all her notes laid
out on a keyboard in front of her - me and the fiddler had to find ours!!
Cheers,
