Â
Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was a German composer who crafted his works using the techniques of musical counterpoint within traditional forms. Within those strictures he created many beautiful and powerful works.
Â
Barely 20 years old, Brahms wrote this in 1853. It is the second of five movements. Being his last piano sonata, it is his biggest solo piano work.
Â
This movement begins with a quotation from a poem by Otto Inkermann:
Â
Through evening's shade, the pale moon gleams While rapt in love's ecstatic dreams Two hearts are fondly beating.
Â
This is an arrangement by Richard Byrnes for Piccolo, 3 Soprano Saxes, 2 Alto Saxes, 2 Tenor Saxes, 2 Baritone Saxes, Bass Sax, & Contrabassoon.
Â
