Brahms' antiquarian interests, his studies of music from the Renaissance to the Classical periods, show in his work — he edited and helped publish a two-chorus motet by Mozart Venite Populi, he had a collection of sonatas by Scarlatti — and in his composition, his motets Op. 74, his interest in the fugue and the passacaglia (outside of organ music such as Josef Rheinberger's Sonata No. 8 ...
A cello sonata is piece written sonata form, often with the instrumentation of a cello taking solo role with piano accompaniment. [1] Some of the earliest cello sonatas were composed in the 18th century by Francesco Geminiani and Antonio Vivaldi, and since then other famous cello sonatas have grown to those by Johannes Brahms, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Sergei Rachmaninoff among others.

Brahms arranged the sonata (in D major) for cello and piano. [3] Others have also arranged it for cello and piano, including Paul Klengel (published by N. Simrock in 1897) [4] and Laszlo Varga (cello part only). [5] Arrangements for viola and piano have also be made, including by Leonard Davis, [6] Csaba Erdélyi, [7] and Thomas Riebl. [8]
The sonata is structured in three movements: Allegro maestoso ma appassionato; Adagio con gran affetto – Più mosso assai; Finale / Allegro (un poco scherzando) The sonata shares characteristics with the works in the genre by Johannes Brahms, in harmony, rhythm, figuration, a rich piano part and passionate cello lines.

The Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, Op. 25, was composed by Johannes Brahms between 1856 and 1861. It was premiered in 1861 in Hamburg , with Clara Schumann at the piano. It was also played in Vienna on 16 November 1862, with Brahms himself at the piano supported by members of the Hellmesberger Quartet . [ 1 ]
The first movement is in conventional sonata form with a repeated exposition. The opening of the first theme resembles the opening of Beethoven's "Hammerklavier" Sonata. [1] [2] The second movement is a theme and variations inspired by the song Verstohlen geht der Mond auf. Brahms was to rewrite it for female chorus in 1859 (WoO 38/20).
The set was the penultimate of Brahms's published works. It was also his penultimate work for piano solo. The pieces are frequently performed. Like Brahms's other late keyboard works, Op. 118 is more introspective than his earlier piano pieces, which tend to be more virtuosic in character. The six pieces are: Intermezzo in A minor.
