Brahms composed just three sonatas for violin and piano, all of them staples of the repertoire--studied, practiced, and performed by chamber music players everywhere. Musicians and students of music will be delighted to own all three works in this single-volume compilation, reprinted from authoritative editions.
Both Sonata No. 1 in G Major, Op. 78, and Sonata No. 2 in A Major, Op. 100, are intensely lyrical in nature, containing some of Brahms' most beautiful and expressive melodies. Sonata No. 3 in D Minor, Op. 108, a tempestuous work full of fire and passion, is a particular favorite with audiences around the world. The violin part, edited by famed performer and teacher Leopold Auer, appears both within the book and as a separate, removable score.
