Clarinet Sonatas, op. 120 / 4 ernste Gesänge, op. 121

Album by Johannes Brahms & Julian Bliss & James Baillieu

Clarinet Sonatas, Op. 120 and the Four Ernste Gesänge, Op. 121 are late works by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1894 and 1896 respectively. They are rooted in late Romantic harmony and lyricism and blend warm wind and piano textures with intimate, autumnal moods, and they come late in Brahms's career when he turned to spare forms and concentrated expression.
