Brahms: Sonata for Violin and Piano in A major Op. 100 by Johannes Brahms, published by Bärenreiter, is one of Brahms’s most radiant and affectionate chamber works, often described as his most relaxed and song-like violin sonata; composed during the idyllic summer of 1886, Op. 100 unfolds as an intimate conversation between violin and piano, where gentle lyricism, subtle harmonic color, and natural flow replace drama and struggle, inviting performers to focus on warmth, balance, and shared musical breathing.

This stunning 3-movement work has it all! The opening movement, Flights of Fancy, symbolizes the element of air and features soaring phrases. The second movement, Terra, resembles an Appalachian lullaby and represents the element of Earth. The final movement, Fire and Ice, is a tour de force that captures the elements of fire and water meeting to create steam and the resulting kinetic energy. Glorious music!
Improve your cello bowing technique! This book teaches string-crossing technique on the cello with open-string studies that allow you to focus on the right hand.
Through the use of staccato bowing to encourage precisely-timed string crossing, these cello studies can help you develop bow control, smooth and even string crossing, and a more beautiful tone.
This book could be followed by String Crossing for the Cello, Book Two, which uses double stops to work on balance between two strings as a fundamental principle behind string crossing.
