Brahms and the Violin
How it is that Brahms, a consummate pianist, also wrote so imaginatively and extensively for violin? Chapter 6 explores various events that took place in 1853, the year that Brahms turned 20, when he left Hamburg to concertize with a violinist-colleague, met Joseph Joachim and began his lifelong friendship with him, and met Robert and Clara Schumann. Studying the sole movement for violin and piano that still exists from Brahms’s early works—the Scherzo that he contributed to the “F.A.E. Sonata”—we can assess the degree to which his mature compositional vision was already in place at such an early age.
