Summary of This Score
The Clarinet Sonatas op. 120 by Johannes Brahms hold a special place in the chamber music literature. In 1894, the composer invited clarinetist Richard Mühlfeld to Ischl to "test" these freshly completed pages: private performances followed one another, and the press immediately praised the strength of these sonatas, destined to "make a sensation." This publication highlights these two major works, ideal for delving into Brahms' late style: a dense melody, a very balanced duo writing, and an expressiveness that demands as much breath control as finesse in phrasing.
This Urtext edition in paperback offers a clear and practical reading while maintaining musicological rigor. The editorial work by Johannes Behr and Egon Voss continues the new complete edition of Brahms' works, and the inclusion of fingerings (Klaus Schilde) provides real comfort for sight-reading, intonation, and uniformity in delicate passages. A relevant resource both for in-depth study (tone, articulation, rubato) and for stage preparation, from the first run-through to the final ensemble adjustments.
