Sonatas for Piano and Violin-Johannes Brahms began to manifest a keen interest in the genre of the violin sonata at an early age. In fall 1853 he offered the Leipzig publisher a violin sonata in a minor. The work was turned down however and the self-critical Brahms must have destroyed it himself later. He ultimately wrote his three major sonatas during his years of maturity: op. 78 in the summers of 1878/79 opp. 100 and 108 in the summer of 1886. The Scherzo in c minor was Brahms’ contribution to the violin sonata which he composed jointly with Robert Schumann and Albert Dietrich in 1853 as a surprise gift for the violinist Joseph Joachim and which is known under the name “F. A. E. Sonata.”With its sharp contrasts between the furious Allegro and emotional Più moderato sections the Scherzo piece is a beloved bravura showcase. A highly authoritative Urtext edition of Brahms' Sonatas for Piano and Violin as edited by Hans Otto Hiekel. Piano part fingered by Hans-Martin Theopold and fingering and bowing of Violin part by Karl Rohig.

B-dur Opus 83- Shortly after a rather unsuccessful performance of his Piano Concerto no. 1 Johannes Brahms wrote to Joseph Joachim in 1859: “... a second one will sound different”. Nevertheless a good 20 years elapsed before thatsecond concerto finally took form and only in 1881 was he able to announce: “I wanted to tell you that I have written a very small Piano concerto with a tiny little delicate Scherzo”. This Piano reduction of thisanything-but-little symphonic concerto presents the solo part as it appears in the respective recently published volume of the Brahms Complete Edition (HN 6020). Lars Vogt has succeeded in taming the opulent Piano writing withhis fingerings. The refined arrangement of the complex orchestral part for the accompanying second piano stems from Johannes Umbreit.

This piece and its prayer of “save me” can be approached from a perspective of simplicity and serenity or of deepest anxiety.

Prélude g minor op. 23 no. 5-As indestructible as Rachmaninoff’s C-sharp-minor Prélude (HN1211) may be it is not his only Prélude to have begun a “solo career” of its own: with its rousing rhythms and rhapsodic middle section the famous piece in g minor certainly takesits place among them. Pianists who aren’t yet ready to tackle the complete cycle of 24 Préludes (available as HN1200) can still enjoy Rachmaninoff “at his best” with this work.
