Discover one of the finest editions of Johannes Brahms's final chamber masterpieces with Sonatas in F Minor & E-flat Major, Op. 120 for viola and piano, published by Bärenreiter.

This pioneering Bärenreiter Urtext edition presents both sonatas with an authoritative musical text, complemented by an extensive scholarly preface and a unique Performance Practice Commentary based on historical sources, early recordings, and the playing traditions of Brahms' contemporaries. The edition also includes both an unmarked Urtext part and a separate annotated part featuring period-appropriate fingerings and bowings, making it an invaluable resource for advanced violists seeking historically informed performance.
