Wunderschöne und detaillierte Interpretation dieser spätromantischen und perfekt komponierten Sonate im veränderlichen Tempo mit mildem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der genialen Bratsche und klarem doch elegantem Klang des ebenso genialen Klaviers. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt lyrisch. Im Kontrast klingt der letzte Satz echt lebhaft und auch beweglich. Der intime und perfekt entsprechende Dialog zwischen den beiden Virtuosen ist wahrlich beeindruckend. Faszinierend vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
So this was originally written for Clarinet & Piano in 1894 but Brahms made a version for Viola & Piano a year later just by writing a new part. He even made a Violin Version. I've wanted to play the Violin version of the op120 Sonatas by Brahms on the Arpeggione.
Looks like a sonata written for B flat clarinet and then arranged for viola and piano. Explains the absence of double / triple stops in the viola part. Also explains the two fewer flats in the soloist part. And explains why, at 3:03 the viola (B flat clarinet) part changes to e flat minor rather than to d sharp minor.
Let me guess, violists prefer it over clarinet? LOL There is a reason why Brahms arranged it for viola. The repertoire is small and there is/was a need. He also arranged it for violin. Klengel arr. it for piano 4 hands as there was a market for those arrangements.
Una pena... No se oye la viola. Se podría haber subido un poco el volumen para que no la tapase el piano. La ventaja de la versión de clarinete es que es más potente en sonoridad y está más equilibrado el dúo.
@@bartjebartmans lol I’m not criticising the fact that it was arranged - it is beautiful on the viola. I was simply just making an observation. Don’t forget that the clarinet too has a very small repertoire

Viola is unique, so is Brahms...
Wow. 1895, this is late Brahms. But undeniably sounds like him all the same...

The info under the video says: Arranged for viola and piano by Johannes Brahms (1895) from the Clarinet Sonatas, Op. 120. 2nd will be up soon.
@@bartjebartmans Would be possible to use a piano score with the viola part instead of the Clarinet one? I think there some editions of that around
Clarinets can double/triple-stop? Also, there are double-stopped passages in this work
I use what is available on IMSLP or have personal access to. I could only find the Viola part but separately.
@bag3lmonst3r72 There are no double stops in the viola parts. Plus if so, that would be an adaptation to the instrument.
I personally prefer with clarinet! What does everyone else think?
