Johannes Brahms

Streichsextette - Arrangements für ein Klavier zu 4 Händen

While original music for large ensembles was usually arranged for piano 4 hands in order to make this music experienceable in a house music setting, these arrangements have their own musical value and are worth discovering. Joseph Joachim wrote to Brahms about the 1st Sextet: 'You arrange deliciously playable and melodious'. First critical edition of these work versions, which were not included in the old Brahms GA (Breitkopf). Edited by Brahms specialist Katrin Eich, with extensive preface and detailed critical report.
