Brahms, Johanne - Sextet in G Major Op. 36 for 2 Violins, 2 Violas and 2 Cellos - Barenreiter URTEXT

Description

In Romantic string repertoire, it's hard to overlook the two string sextets (op. 18 and op. 36 [BA 9420, TP 420]) by Johannes Brahms. Over time, they've become two of the most popular chamber music works for musicians and listeners. The new Brenreiter Urtext editions, edited by Christopher Hogwood, are the first scholarly-critical editions of these much-performed works. The editor has taken all known sources into consideration including the versions for piano two and four hands which the composer wrote as well as a set of contemporary performing parts which offer variant readings and insights into performance practice during Brahmss lifetime.The study scores to each of these works include facsimile pages, a foreword (Ger/Eng) and a critical commentary (Eng) on the work and history of the composition. - First Urtext editions of these popular chamber music works - Include variant readings from contemporary parts - With facsimile pages
