Fauré is known for his flowing melodies and lucid harmonies. Listening to his music it is logical to assume he is the precursor to french impressionistic music which his later works often strayed towards. When you hear other composers stereotyping “french” music they often get something that is imitative of Fauré’s music, delicate but not […] The Brahms Cello Sonatas are part of the standard cello repertoire (duh!). I’ll post the score along with what Wikipedia has to say about the works. […] These short works are very pleasant little dittos that are fun to sight read. I learned one of the duets for fun in high school and I can confirm that they are not totally typical, generic classical sounding music (OK, some of those are Baroque). I am about to contradict my last sentence by saying […] This is one of very few romantic works written for the viola. I am preparing it again for my upcoming recital in May. The recording I am linking too is impressive for it’s lyricism, but unfortunately I believe the artist made some poor choices by creating a vertical feeling in the section of sixths at […] I have mentioned before that IMSLP is wonderful database where all of the scores I post up here come from (they are just distilled into the important rep).

A really terrific historical (and formal) analysis of the work is […] The Paganini Caprices are some of the most played solo works in violin repertoire. This is in part because they are studied by every violinist and their mother (even some violists). Jascha Heifitz has an incredibly famous rendition of No. 24. Too all the violinists out there, have fun! No. 1 No. 2 No. 3 […] I guess you could call this impressionistic Wednesday. Click beneath the fold for two standard pieces! […] Brahms Piano Trio, Op. 8 Brahms Piano Trio Piano Part/Score Brahms Piano Trio Violin Part Brahms Piano Trio Cello Part Update: Links fixed. Here are the score and parts to Schumann Piano Quartet.
