Sonata in G major for Violin and Piano op. 78

Johannes Brahms:The Works for one Instrument and PianoJohannes Brahms’ compositions for one instrument and piano have been standards in chamber music literature ever since their inception. These works were written with specific performers in mind and Brahms worked closely with them when refining thefinal texts. Nevertheless, we rarely approach the music taking into consideration the possibilities of the instruments for which Brahms wrote or the performing practices of the individual players who first performed these compositions, includingBrahms himself.
