The two sonatas of Johannes Brahms's op. 120 are widely hailed as crowning points of the repertoire for clarinet and piano. Moreover, in the version for viola and piano arranged by Brahms himself, they rank among the most frequently played viola works of the 19th century. They far surpass in compositional substance the relatively few original sonatas written for these instrumentations during the same period.Of the two fellow works, the Sonata No. 2 in E flat major is the more accessible. Diverging from the classical-romantic tradition, Brahms used the key of E flat major here not to express the heroic or monumental, but to obtain lyrical, chiefly restrained characterizations. The serenade-like beauty of the principal theme, which opens the sonata, has always been particularly admired. In his review of the world premiere, the renowned Viennese music critic Eduard Hanslick, a friend of Brahms's, raves with the words it was as if it had fallen from the Heavens. The closing set of variations also follows with gentle gracefulness this lyrical character. However, the middle movement, with its tempestuous outer sections in E flat minor and the hymnic trio in B major provides a passionate and serious contrast, which allows the flanking idyll to unfold its beauties all the more insistently.

Bach's flute music brought to a successful end
ISBN 9790004503119. 9 x 12 inches.
Perhaps Bach actually did allow himself to be swept away by Telemann's enthusiasm for the Flute traversiere, the Baroque transverse flute, for which he wrote a whole series of pieces, including the Trio Sonata in G major BWV 1039. With the Urtext edition of the sonata, which presumably is the arrangement of a lost first version for two violins and basso continuo, Breitkopf adds the finishing touches to the series of Bach's Complete Flute Works edited by the renowned flutist Barthold Kuijken. In the publication's textual segments, Kuijken takes a comprehensive look at the various sources and versions. Also very useful for performance practice are the unique characteristics found among musicians who are particularly knowledgeable in early music.The continuo has been realized by Ewald Demeyere, taking contemporary treatises into account.A clear, informative and utterly practical edition of this much loved and important trio sonata. The musical typeface here is extremely clear and of a sensible size. Slurs, additional ornaments and annotations are precise and non-invasive, page turns are practical and the separate bass also includes figures.(Lisa Beznosiuk, The Consort)Bach's flute music brought to a successful end.
