Trio, Opus 40

One of the great chamber works incorporating horn. This is a clearly printed edition. The page layout necessitates a page turner for the pianist for performance. Layout on the other two parts is workable but could be printed to work better. I was interested to see the Breitkopf & Haertel edition...

but the lengthy procurement time did not fit with my performance schedule for the trio. The Peters is a good edition of a great work.

The editing is very well done for the violin part. I would try three different fingerings and always end up with the editors recommendation. This is a very beautiful, rich composition. I love it.

Very neat edition and very helpfull since it includes the optional cello and viola parts.

Brahms is always difficult to count and this piece is no different

Written in the same period as both the Waltzes and the Requiem, the horn trio provides everything which makes Brahms' chamber music sustainably rewarding. While playable to the intermediate student it offers a source for years of nuanced interpretation.
