The String Quartet No. 3 in B ♭ major, Op. 67, was composed by Johannes Brahms in the summer of 1875 and published by the firm of Fritz Simrock. [1] It received its premiere performance on October 30, 1876 in Berlin. [2] It has four movements:
This repetition again simplifies the learning of chords and improvisation. [2] [3] This advantage is not shared by two popular regular-tunings, all-fourths and all-fifths tuning. [3] Chord inversion is especially simple in major-thirds tuning. Chords are inverted simply by raising one or two notes by three strings.
