Piano Quartets

Album by Johannes Brahms & Domus

Piano Quartets is a set of two chamber works for piano and string trio by Johannes Brahms, composed in the early 1860s and commonly dated to 1861–1862. The works combine Romantic melodic writing with Classical forms and dense contrapuntal textures, marking an important stage in Brahms's early career as he consolidated a mature compositional voice.
