Hooked on the Trout
All this week on PT, we've been observing Critters Week: music about and inspired by animals. There's no fur in today's show, but an ample supply of feathers and fins. Pianist Mitsuko Uchida and friends perform Schubert's Trout Quintet from the Marlboro Music Festival. The work got its name from a tune Schubert used in the final movement: a song about a happy trout, splashing in a stream.
