Brahms composed his piano sonata in F-minor, in 1853, at the age of 20. Â Markings in the piano music, such as 'like cello', or in another place 'like pizzicato', suggest he was thinking in orchestral terms. Â Indeed, the earliest sketches of his 1st symphony come from the year his sonata in F-minor was published. Â
Yet he worked at least 14 years on his first symphony, finally publishing it in 1876, at age 43. Â
What if Brahms had orchestrated his sonata in F-minor, opus 5, publishing it as his first symphony, in his youth, rather than at age 43? Â
Attempting to answer that, I embarked on a big project, to orchestrate Brahms sonata in F-minor, into a symphony. Â And you can listen to it yourself, as the music of Brahms comes shining through, as a symphony that 'might have been'. Â
Though the instrument choices and dynamics adjustments for orchestra are mine, the music is all Brahms. Â See what you think. Â
This is the 5th movement, the Finale. Â
The music of Brahms is a long-time favorite of symphony audiences, and this could be a hit with your audience, as well.
