About "Piano Quartet No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 60: II. Scherzo. Allegro" by Christian Tetzlaff
Brahms's C-minor Scherzo is a coiled spring. Tetzlaff and ensemble turn the piano quartet into a chase—staccato strings darting around a brooding piano. The 'allegro' is all clenched energy, a playful menace that keeps you guessing which way it'll lunge.
