Product Description
As a life-long fan of the music of Brahms, I have wished there were more than his four symphonies to enjoy.
So I set about orchestrating his sonata for piano, opus 5, as a symphony.
I doing so, I've seen many things in his piano music, that suggest he was thinking orchestrally. And this is a composition from his youth (1854). In fact, I have been repeatedly amazed at how many simultaneous, independent parts, he has put into a piano solo. I haven't needed to create anything. It's all Brahms, coming through.
Perhaps, if Brahms weren't so overwhelmed by the genius of Beethoven, who came before, he might have made this his first symphony.
And your orchestra can perform it for your audiences to enjoy!
Brahms has long been a staple of concert-going audiences, and with this piece, you can perform a new symphony of Brahms, created from his piano sonata in F-minor, orchestrated into a symphony by Aere.
