I'm sorry to see you don't like Brahms' music, Ian. For me and for many others his music is full of melody and use of his harmony is endlessly subtle and rearding. I regard him as the finest composer since Beethoven and I endorse from my own experience LMcD's love of his chamber works .
You may be interested to know that your remarks about lack of melody and dullness mirror those of British critics in the late 19th century when Brahms' music was first played in London and Manchester. I hope you will come to like it in time.
