On February 12, 2017, I attended a trio concert that was performed by “the Claremont Trio”. The trio consisted of a violin, a cello, and a piano.

After the second section the intermission arrived, it was about fifteen minutes long. Considering that listening to music is a very intense activity, the pause in the middle of the concert helped me to concentrate and enjoy the second half much
