Brahms composed a whole series of chamber music works, including his Second Violin Sonata in A major, during a summer visit to Thun in Switzerland in 1886. This wonderfully lyrical work is one of his...

Two lots of seven violin sonatas from the heyday of the 18th century French Violin School: Whoever plays these sonatas (with basso continuo), will go on a voyage of discovery to a musical continent th...

This is not only Mozart's first concerto for the violin but his first concerto altogether. He composed it at the age of 17, writing it in Salzburg in 1773 two years before his other four violin concer...

There is no other chamber-music genre for which Mozart produced so many works - see the sonatas and variations - than that of the duos for piano and violin. He spent a considerable amount of time with...

Fauré composed his violin sonata in 1875/76 and in so doing opened up a new tradition for this genre in French music. In a review, Saint-Saëns expressed his enthusiasm for this work by his friend and...

Chopin published his Scherzi nos. 1-3 at more-or-less regular intervals, in 1835, 1837 and 1840 - almost as if he'd planned them in advance. He published his fourth and final work in this genre after...

With opuses 1, 2, 4, 5, and 10, this volume contains virtually all of Johannes Brahms' early piano oeuvre, with which the budding composer and pianist introduced himself to the public. The Scherzo op....

The decisive role that Norwegian folk music played for Edvard Grieg can be felt in almost all of his works. For his Norwegian Dances op. 35, presented here in an Urtext edition, Grieg took old folk tu...

With this E-minor piano sonata, Classical-era composer Haydn created a work that displays positively romantic traits. Agitation and excitement are expressed in the main ideas of the first movement, wh...

Bach most likely composed his Toccatas in his early creative years, between 1707 and 1713; they can be seen as the products of Bach‘s own 'Sturm und Drang' period, and were not planned as an interconn...
