Influenced by Robert and Clara Schumann and Joseph Joachim, Johannes Brahms not only learned to play the organ at the beginning of his career, but also wrote significant compositions for the instrument as a result of his early counterpoint study. He composed for the organ only sporadically or as part of larger choral and instrumental works in his subsequent career. During the final year of his life, however, he returned to pure organ composition with a set of chorale preludes--though many of these are thought to have been revisions of earlier works. Today, the organ works of Johannes Brahms are recognized as beautifully-crafted compositions by church and concert organists across the world and have become a much-cherished component of the repertoire. Until now, however, most scholarly accounts of Brahms's life and work treat his works for the organ as a minor footnote in his development as a composer. Precisely because the collection of organ works is not extensive, the pieces--composed at different times during Brahms's lifetime--help to map his path as a composer, pinpointing various stages in his artistic development. In this volume, Barbara Owen offers the first in-depth study of this corpus, considering Brahms's organ works in relation to his background, methods, and overall artistic development, his contacts with organs and organists, the influence of his predecessors and contemporaries, and analyses of each specific work and its place in Brahms's career. Her expert history and analysis of Brahms's individual organ works and their interpretation also investigates contemporary practices relative to the performance of these pieces. The book's three valuable appendices present a guide to editions of Brahms's organ works, a discussion of the organ in Brahms's world that highlights some organs the composer would have heard, and a listing of the organ transcriptions of Brahms's work. Blending unique insights into composition and performance practice, this book will be read eagerly by performers, students, and scholars of the organ, Brahms, and the music of the Nineteenth Century.

Brahms composed his second Sonata for Cello and Piano in F Major in 1886, more than 20 years after his first.  This sonata expresses exuberance that was absent from Brahms' early period and contrasts greatly with his first cello sonata.  Brahms, by this time, seems to have grown more comfortable composing for the cello, as he uses higher registers and techniques like pizzicato to elicit textures unheard in previous works.  The second sonata also overshadows the first in another way -- it is even more difficult than the challenging e minor sonata.

Brahms composed his Sonata for Piano and Cello over 3 years, from 1862 to 1865.  Brahms, a pianist himself, said of the piece that the piano should be an equal partner with the cello, never purely accompaniment.  He also stated that the sonata is, ''as far as both instruments are concerned, is certainly not difficult to play.'' Very few musicians would agree with this statement. Several main themes in this sonata are based on fugues from Bach's 'The Art of Fugue.' Edited by Leonard Rose.

The final of three sonatas Johannes Brahms wrote for violin and piano, the Sonata No. 3 in d minor, Op. 108 , is also the most intense.  This sonata is different from the previous two in that it is comprised of four movements, rather than three.  Beginning with the dormant passion of the first movement and ending in the obvious frenzy of the fourth, the piece covers wide range of emotions in a relatively short amount of time.  Virtuosic and intellectual at the same time, this sonata has earned its place amongst the greatest sonatas ever written. This Masters Music Publication has been edited by William Preucil, in collaboration with Emilio Coln.  Difficulty: A6 Minimize

Originally composed for piano, this lovely, reflective Intermezzo (Op. 117, No. 1) has been transcribed for viola and piano by Paul Klengel.  Beginning in D major, it modulates into the darker parallel key of d minor for several lines before returning again to D major.  Brahms' gift for playing with time is exhibited in the gently syncopated rhythms of the development section.  The meditative, lullaby-like qualities of this Intermezzo make it a beautiful addition to a recital program or worship service. This edition is a reprint of the 1893 Simrock publication.  In the piano score, the printed solo line is labeled ''Violoncell'', but the solo part included is for viola.  It makes no difference to performance, as the solo line is the same.  Arranged and edited by Paul Klengel.  Published by Lauren Publications.

Brahms wrote this beautiful piece late in his life for his friend, the great clarinetist Mhlfeld from Meiningen, for whom he also wrote the Clarinet Trio and the Clarinet Quintet. Brahms fell in love with the range and colors of the clarinet when played by such an artist. Nevertheless, according to the Brahms biographer Malcolm McDonald, he must have had hopes of a wider acceptance of this work. Brahms made his own viola transcription and allowed his publisher Simrock to publish a version for violin. The reason for this transcription for cello and piano is that this glorious work is only rarely heard, and that the cello brings to it an entirely new sonority and soul. It is hoped that this work will now find a well-deserved place in the still scant cello repertoire. The premiere was on March 14, 2008 at Harry Wimmer's New York Symphony Space Thalia Theater concert with the assistance of the marvelous pianist Eduard Laurel. Minimize
