Johannes Brahms - String Sextet, No. 2, Op. 36 (1865)

Wow. I’d not heard this before. That opening was so lovely and unexpected.

3:12 in German musical nomenclature this motif spells a-g-a-h-e. This is a reference to Agathe von Siebold. In 1858 Brahms was invited to Göttingen by Julius Otto Grimm and he met Agathe, whom he quickly developed an intimate relationship with. When Clara Schumann noticed this when she was visiting Göttingen she immediately left without farewell. This devastated Brahms [sic], who broke off the engagement and his promise of marrying Agathe.

the final resolution of the poco adagio against that cello pedal point has to be one of the most satisfying moments in all of music

I'm seeing a lot about this piece recently on KZbin and other platforms. It must be it's time to shine so to speak. It's pretty gorgeous really. And voted by many as the most representative piece by Brahms.

This is such a fun piece to play. I played first violin in a sextet with some friends from school, and it came together so well. Kudos to the uploader for the score it is very helpful!

Great upload, great music

Wunderschöne und gut phrasierte Interpretation dieses spätromantischen und perfekt komponierten Sextetts in verschiedenen Tempi mit seidigen Tönen beider Violinen, milden Tönen beider Bratschen und tiefen Tönen beider Violoncelli. Der dritte Satz klingt besonders schön und echt bezaubernd. Im Kontrast klingt der letzte Satz echt lebhaft und auch dynamisch. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den sechs Virtuosen ist wahrhaft ergreifend. Wunderbar und atemberaubend zugleich!

Very beautiful, well-crafted, and like very often, the musical piece outlasted the relationship. Thanks for sharing.

Первая часть, в особенности начало звучит таинственно,завораживающие. Звуки скрипки и виолончели уносят тебя в параллельную реальност,вселённую.

[@steveegallo3384]

Great to re-hear this Masterpiece......Spellbinding!

[@dmytrotsvyntarnyi799]

The most beautiful thing I've ever played as for now (1st viola)

[@Silviola824]

Performed this piece recently (2nd viola). It was amazing, exactly what I love and expect out of a chamber piece. Just wish 2nd viola had a little more to do in some spots :)

32:12-33:08 is some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard, the way the tension is built up and then released in this magnificent passage evokes so much emotion from the listener, what a wonderful genius masterpiece this is

That opening is gorgeous...almost a look forward to Debussy.

Debussy? I mean it’s a slightly unusual opening but I don’t hear Debussy at all

When getting to know classical music, in my experience, anyway, it sometimes takes time to become familiar with a piece. But after you do--and it might take a few listenings or more--you might find that you love a given piece more than you could have imagined. Give the last movement of this quartet a few listenings if you can. While doing chores or washing dishes, whatever, just so that you can get to know it as comfortably as possible. I really love this last movement, so much that I've yet to really get to know the rest of the quartet. Anyway, wishing you more joy in music.

How could you think the scherzo is boring?
