Indeed, The clarinet blends/compliments very well with string instruments, after all, That's ett they reolacr the string section in bands and wind orchestras
The Kegelstatt Trio, K. 498, is a piano trio for clarinet, viola and piano in E-flat major by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Composed in 1786, 125 years before this work by Bruch.
@@johnpirie4804 More than one chamber work is written for x, y, and clarinet 'or viola." Nice to see a composer who is not too parsimonious to include both.
Viola is closest to the human tonal range in the orchestra and the clarinet is as well in the winds. No wonder they compliment and flow together so well!
@@francissadleir9805 well the bassoon covers even the lowest bass, and most of the soprano, so I stand by my claim. No other standard wind instrument covers the bass voice
@@maxgamesst1 In orchestra flute is appropriate to coloratura soprano voice, oboe - lyric soprano, clarinet - dramatic soprano and mezzo soprano and bassoon - alto voice. Chorn - contratenor voice, trumpet - tenor, trombone - baritone and tube - bass voice. Cello is like orchestral metronome. It is appoint tempo with is piece playing by orchestra. Double bass is base in orchestra like f.e. foundation for building/s. 1st Violins plays main melody and 2nd violins and violas plays another melodies compare to 1st violins. Percussion instruments helps in f.e. culminate moments like plates or tam-tam. They colorised sounds of backgrounds. Charp or piano or celesta too. ...and thats it. This is an orchestra.
I'm beginning to think Max Bruch is the 19th century Gustav Holst, in the sense that he is too well known for just one work, when there are so many other masterpieces that deserve to be equally popular.
Incredibly beautiful and harmonious music, a wonderful combination of clarinet and viola, some passages resonate deeply with the soul. A completely underrated piece.
This is the only concerto I know of for the two instruments, but there's a lot of chamber music for the trio of clarinet, viola, and piano. Mozart and Brahms wrote trios for that combination, and there's also Bruch's Eight Pieces for Clarinet, Viola, and Piano.
The conversations between the soloists are absolutely sublime throughout. Seriously wonderful writing. It's a joy to listen to such artistry and so beautifully performed on this recording.
Notável! Magnífico! Como é maravilhoso apreciar tamanha riqueza, que faz com que minha alma sinta-se em plena paz e meu coração agradece por sentir e viver este momento de pura harmonia! Obrigada ao canal por me proporcionar este momento de pura magia! 🌟👑💎🏆👏🎶😘❤️💐
The maturity of Brahms orchestration and blending of solo voices is incredible. Wonderful rendition as well. Carefully listening to this reveals new subtleties each time I listen. Don't just listen to this one as background music...really listen and you will be given a gift.
This has to be a unique combination of soloists. Please enlighten me if other concertos were written. But as usual, this largely forgotten composer delivers yet again. Max Bruch was undoubtedly a genius, and it's very sad that most of his music lies in neglect.
I don't know of other concerti, but don't forget pieces for clarinet, viola, and piano. Mozart's Kegelstatt trio, Brahms's Clarinet Trio, and Bruch's own Eight Pieces for Clarinet, Viola, and Piano come to mind.
@@sactownviolist2668 Brahms clarinet trio was originally for clarinet, cello and piano. But don't forget 'Marchenerzahlungen ' by Schumann. This is also a wonderful piece.
There's also Brahms's two songs Op.91, written for piano, viola and soprano, but which is often performed and recorded substituting the viola for a clarinet. One could perform it with the clarinet taking the soprano line.
I am in love with this concerto... What a shame it's not a Bb clarinet... I'm a clarinetist and tried to study the viola but it was too tricky... Anyway one of my dreams is to play this one day with a fellow viola player :) (along with Bartók's Romanian Folk Dances)
Wanna know something my older brother plays the viola in college (he played orchestra is sixth grade btw) and I had just entered middle school and I’m in band and play the clarinet
This music of Bruch was something extraordinarily beautiful music piece, There was an excellent iimagination of the composer to give color and taste to the music. I will continue to listen to Bruch, may be he can be one of my favorites like Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Scarlatti. By the way, the two soloists were superb as well. Thanks for uploading.
After the introduction, the main theme (from bars 17 to 28 or from 1:07 to 1:56) of the 1st movement, is more than just a paraphrase of Edvard Grieg's Solveig's Song from the Peer Gynt suite. Peer Gynt was composed in 1875 (and premiered the next year alongside Henrik Ibsen's play) and this beautiful double concerto was composed in 1911. th-cam.com/video/R8AD75_sNJM/w-d-xo.html
How patronising the comment by Paul Bunyan is. It's by no means a little piece, and in its own way, very original (not least on the choice of instruments). Stravinsky's own neoclassical period, which was very extended, is one piece of evidence to back up the point that Bartje makes.
Bruch was already outdated when he landed his only real hit: The 1st Violinconcerto. He refused to go further than Mendelssohn did in harmony 20 years before him. Not to say that his music isn't nicely crafted, it is just outdone by his contemporaries. Just consider: His last work, the Octett for Strings was written in the same year as Bartok wrote "The miraculous Mandarin". They sound like they are 100 years apart.
it's truly unfortunate that this work also has the scrolling sheet music posted. I REALLY enjoy listening to it while reading or studying, and with the sheet music, I can't read or study anything but the sheet music while listening to the music. There MUST be a conspiracy theory I can make here... :)
bckm54 I feel it. As much as I want to study for Form and Analysis, I'm too busy analyzing the music on the screen for this piece. I'm currently learning Bruch Romanze for Viola so this popped up in my Playlist. I have a friend that is a great clarinetist, definitely will bring this piece up to him.
Why, Max? When you were such a great composer, why steal from Grieg? I know composers of all genres of music at all times has done this, but it's still disappointing, and this one is very blatant.
who cares, it is a gorgeous and very original piece. Show me anyone else who chose this combination, let alone brought off to such good effect. I love Grieg, by the way, especially his violin sonata in G.

I believe the bassoon is the closest to the human voice in the winds

@@wojciechj.m.uminski2154 buddy I'm a music major in college, I've taken an orchestration class. "That's it" is kinda an understatement

The way this piece is composed is mind boggling mastery....the interaction between viola and clarinet is like a ballet love dance.
Similar to the Brahms trio.... the interplay between clarinet, cello, and piano is outstanding especially in the slow movement
1st movement - 0:06
2nd movement - 6:57
3rd movement - 12:46
thanks
Thank you!
Much appreciated.
How charming. I had no idea viola and clarinet complimented each other's sounds so well when they're out front together. Huh...
Yeah they play in the same range
This is the only concerto I know of for the two instruments, but there's a lot of chamber music for the trio of clarinet, viola, and piano. Mozart and Brahms wrote trios for that combination, and there's also Bruch's Eight Pieces for Clarinet, Viola, and Piano.
They also complement each other.
Mozart may have been the 1st to do that in his Trio, K.498, though the colours of the orchestra add so much to the Bruch.
Hi all, there is also a concerto for clarinet & violin:
th-cam.com/video/l_sbk_sOfWc/w-d-xo.html
The soloists, clarinet and viola in full dialogue, like two lovers going over their lives!
Sheet music that is turning a yellowish color is a beautiful thing
I'm a viola player and I'm having a war with the clarinets.
This will show 'em
Fantastic music and well played. I recently recorded this with the Belgian National Orchestra. So much fun to play.
And You played fantastic!
❤❤❤❤
This is fabulous. I've never really exposed myself to the lesser-known artists of the Romantic period, but this is proof that I should.
True, Bruch's major works, at least, are often performed. That said, I never heard of this concerto before....BRAVI!
This is so nice. I am currently studying this with a violist (me playing clarinet). We'll perform it with piano accompagnement.
3:19 One of the most beautiful phrases I've ever heard
The conversations between the soloists are absolutely sublime throughout. Seriously wonderful writing. It's a joy to listen to such artistry and so beautifully performed on this recording.
My favorite instruments together, sounds beautiful and harmonious ❤.
So nice to hear this with clarinet rather than violin, the usual substitute. Bruch, as usual, crafted the piece wonderfully.
wow. real music. I am a clarinetist and this was amazing to attempt to read alone with the music.... Goal to to play this piece.
tbh its really easy i sight-read the clarinet part and it was ok
What's up?
Beautiful music beautifully played. Bruch, as are the soloists and accompanying orchestra and Conductor, was a master of his trade.
Je peux écouter a ce concerto encore et encore.
Little known, wonderfull piece. Thanks
Thanks so much for posting this. I was completely unaware of this piece.
This is so beautiful and the playing very sensitive.

I think you mean Bruch, not Brahms.
I love you, it's really hard to find something for viola and clarinet and this is amazing, finaly a can play something with my sister
This is beautiful first time hearing it, I absolute love Bruch’s 8 pieces for clarinet viola and piano aswell
Wow! What a marvelous work! Thanks for sharing it. 😊
Beautiful, thank you for sharing.
this discovery stabbed my heart in a second.
More thanks again to You Tube for bringing me a rare and beautiful work I would probably have missed. Thanks also to Bartje Bartmans for posting it.
just great...
After hearing all the bad news from the world, This is very peaceful and happy music to listen to.
Love this. Such a beautiful piece.
Excelente execução! Belíssimos timbres!
Beautuful music!
Assolutamente delizioso. Una perizia compositiva nascosta da una capacità melodica sorgiva
i love this !! a discovery! thanks!
Magnifique ! merci.. Odile Bailleux
"Little J.Brahms" ...In my childhood 1 time herd this piece, now find 2 one...Thanks the Radio broadcast in both Bravo audio & performance!
...Now...
Sublime !
Hermosa música!! Muchas gracias.
the third movement was so good
Bravo brilliance concert
Lovely.
I am so glad I found this with score. I can't wait to perform this with my orchestra in the summer!!
😊 un chef-d'œuvre
Right in the feels.
Que lindo, algumas obras são realmente indescritíveis.
Quelle beauté !
bravo!!!

@@jitsukerr Thank you. I've learnt something today.
The theme in the 1st movement is very similar to the Swedish folksong "Ack Värmeland du sköna"
Det er rigtigt Erik !
héél erg mooi ! very, very nice !
Max beach is greatly under rated.he should be one of the giant .
Is this a hybrid of Max Bruch and Amy Beach? Both are under rated, great composers.

Laura I. Why a shame? Who wants to play with 5+ sharps when they don’t have to (i.e. using A clarinet).
I’m a violinist but have played viola and/or the viola part in numerous occasions. I’m happy to pick it up again and play it together 😜😜
I love the darker richer sound of the A clarinet
BEAUTIFUL!
Wanna know something my older brother plays the viola in college (he played orchestra is sixth grade btw) and I had just entered middle school and I’m in band and play the clarinet
Omg what a melody at 3:18
00:00 1. Andante con moto
06:56 2. Allegro moderato
12:44 3. Allegro molto

I'm not sure I'm hearing it, can you point me to a specific place in the Grieg to listen?
What a beautiful concert. A pitty because it is so rare played...
Anyone else hearing a lot of Schindler’s List and Star Wars Prequels being influenced by this piece?
Definitely reminded of the Schindler's List theme
Bello.
Hermoso concierto muy poco difundido.
bruch moment
I knew that beginning sounded familiar! It sounds like Vesti la Giubba
It's a lovely little piece but consider: The Rite of Spring premiered fewer than 2 years after this piece's first performance!
The idea that there is some kind of progression in music history might very well be an illusion.
How patronising the comment by Paul Bunyan is. It's by no means a little piece, and in its own way, very original (not least on the choice of instruments). Stravinsky's own neoclassical period, which was very extended, is one piece of evidence to back up the point that Bartje makes.

lol, this music is just too good
yes close your eyes :o)
bckm54 just..... don't look at the screen.......
Allegro molto gives Mendelssohn vibes!
Is he deliberately quoting Beethoven's 5th with the horns in the 3rd movement or is it just a case of a common phrasing?
someone to transpose this to Bflat for me :)
please it really should be played on A clarinet. It sounds so much nicer then!
Need it too
Get the violist to transpose her part, and then play it as written on a B flat clarinet!
La viola, con su sonido menos vibrante que el violín es más afín a la voz humana. Parecido ocurre con el clarinete. Ambos combinan muy bien
I 0:00
II 6:56
III 12:42
Maybe trite but I have named my dachshund Bruch
Anyone wanna play this together!! I call viola!
Yes
That piano sounds really weird ...
It's attractive, certainly, but a bit soggy - and unmemorable. I'm afraid I can't escape the feeling that Bruch really is a one hit wonder.
