With the Sonata for Violoncello and Piano in E minor, op. 38, Johannes Brahms created a masterpiece of Romantic chamber music that is still part of the established repertoire for cello and piano today. With this edition, Bärenreiter presents an Urtext version for cello and piano with detailed notes on performance practice for an authentic output of the emotional depth of the piece. Additional support is provided by fingerings and line markings based on Brahms' contemporaries.
A great bonus of this edition is undoubtedly its extensive preface with information on the genesis, first performances, publications, and early reception.
