Product Overview
Arranged by Owen Goldsmith
Widely recognised as one of the world's most beautiful melodies, this movement is a magnificent example of Brahm's use of long lines, subtle but powerful harmonic shifts and poignant phrasing. The required piano part stays within the capability of student performance, and the violin III (viola) part is almost entirely in the treble staff. Taking a departure from traditional four-bar phrasing, this paradigm of Romantic style is a wonderful vehicle for teaching ensemble cohesion in phrasing, balance and duplet-triplet pulse.
