Stephen Johnson looks at two startling "Opus Ones", featured in the second half of tonight's concert, from composers who despite their youth were already masters of their art. Stephen compares the first published works of Brahms and Berg, and examines how each re-imagined the classical idea of a 'piano sonata'.
