Brahms: Sonata for Violin and Piano in G major Op. 78 by Johannes Brahms, published by Bärenreiter, presents one of Brahms’s most poetic and inward chamber works in a pioneering Urtext edition that reconnects performers with the expressive ideals of the German Romantic era; composed alongside the Violin Concerto Op. 77 in the summers of 1878–79, the sonata—often called the Regensonate (Rain Sonata)—is unified by subtle references to Brahms’s songs Regenlied and Nachklang, where falling figurations evoke raindrops, memory, and quiet introspection, creating a continuous lyrical meditation rather than a display-driven sonata.
