Piano Quartet nos. 1, 3

Album by Johannes Brahms & Derek Han & Isabelle Faust & Bruno Giuranna & Alain Meunier

Piano Quartet Nos. 1 and 3 are piano quartets by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1861 and 1875. Both are Romantic-era chamber works that balance dense pianistic textures with rich string counterpoint and harmonic complexity, with No. 1 reflecting his early mature voice and No. 3 representing a later, more concentrated dramatic intensity in his chamber output.
