Brahms, Sonata No1 in E Minor Op38 Cello and Piano (IMC)

Darkly lyrical and structurally powerful, Brahms’ Cello Sonata No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 38 is a cornerstone of Romantic chamber music. Written between 1862 and 1865, its three movements balance the cello’s rich lower register with an equally important piano part, culminating in a contrapuntal finale inspired by the music of J. S. Bach. Distinguished cellist Leonard Rose edits this edition from International Music Company and provides a practical performance edition for advanced cellists studying this essential work.
