Sextet for Strings, op. 36 / Trio for Horn, Violin & Piano, op. 40

Album by Johannes Brahms & Myron Bloom & Michael Tree & Rudolf Serkin

Sextet for Strings, Op.36 and Trio for Horn, Violin & Piano, Op.40 are chamber works by Johannes Brahms dating from the mid-1860s. They showcase Brahms's Romantic chamber style—rich harmonies, intricate counterpoint and expansive, symphonic textures—and mark a period in his career where he expanded classical forms and integrated more orchestral thinking into smaller ensembles.
