Brahms, Johannes - Sextet for 2 Violins, 2 Violas and 2 Violoncellos in B-Flat Major, Op 18 - edited by Christopher Hogwood - Bärenreiter

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 Bärenreiter 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 Brahms’s 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
