Description

Johannes Brahms’s three renowned sonatas, op. 78, 100, and 108, rank among the most exquisite pieces in the violin repertoire. Wouldn’t it be delightful if Brahms had composed more works for this instrumentation? This notion is not merely a fantasy, as in 1895, the composer arranged his two late Clarinet Sonatas, op. 120, for violin and piano, making modifications to the piano part as well. These authentic arrangements serve as an excellent introduction for music enthusiasts and less experienced violinists who are not yet ready to engage with the major sonatas. Simultaneously, they present the “best of Brahms.” Experience them for yourself. The revised musical text from Henle’s Urtext edition, derived from the New Brahms Complete Edition and supplemented with useful fingerings, offers the finest foundation
