The second movement of this sonata is probably one of the most beautiful pieces Brahms ever wrote

[@texwiller4029]

Clarinet is the instrument that one can easily distinguish from the symphonic noise just before the concert.

[@doc_funkbeat9277]

i'm pretty sure you're thinking about the oboe

[@texwiller4029]

@@doc_funkbeat9277 I was not thinking about tuning, but the scales of clarinet from the chaotic preparation.

It’s likely…hard piece to play

*update* did pretty well

Me too 😅

[@trinityblackwell646]

i’m so terrified i have to play this for my jury

[@vcliburn]

I adore the Sonata Op. 120 No. 1 for clarinet & piano...wonderfully performed by Karl Leister and Ferenc Bognár. Bravo! Bravo! I would love to hear them perform the Sonata No. 2 in E-flat Major.

[@katmusswoodwind]

your tone is so beautiful x

[@DieFlabbergast]

I have this piece on CD played by a viola instead of clarinet: the transcription was made by Brahms himself. It is beautiful with either instrument.

[@wowyok4507]

nope

[@pietroamaretti8550]

It only has sensibility with clarinet.

[@tylarvo7]

It was originally written for clarinet but also works very well on viola

[@johnpirie4804]

Played this at a school concert many many years ago.

According to this I'm practicing all but the last movement too fast. That's a bit of relief for my fingers.

[@wiseferret4745]

No, it's supposed to be played fast.

[@PaulVinonaama]

@@wiseferret4745 I think this tempo works just fine.

Yeah, despite (or because of) its simplicity.

last movement

[@PaulVinonaama]

In last movement's bars 119-122 the pianist thinks quarter-notes = half-notes.

They're crotchets, seems to be fine to me at 21:10ish

[@CalebRen]

They sound accurate

[@Bach1685]

Viola is the best instrument for this sonata

[@ladislavlansky8244]

Clarinet better 💎

[@johnpirie4804]

Not if you're a clarinettist.

[@Bach1685]

@johnpirie4804 why do you think that I hate clarinet? No,I love clarinet ( Mozart,Krommer,Stamitz clarinet concertos are amazing). It's just my opinion,that viola version Brahms's sonata more expressive as for me,gratefully deep sound and timbre of viola

[@johnpirie4804]

@@Bach1685I never inferred you hated the clarinet. I'm a clarinettist myself and have played this work so I'm entitled to disagree with you. It was written for Richard Mühlfeld the principal clarinet of the Meiningen Court Orchestra of whom Brahms was inspired by. He only arranged it for viola so it could be more widely played.

[@vcliburn]

Exactly! This piece was originally intended for clarinet and piano, not viola and piano!@@johnpirie4804
