Streichsextett no. 1

Album by Johannes Brahms & Alban Berg Quartett & Amadeus Quartet

String Sextet No. 1 in B-flat major, Op. 18 is a chamber-music composition by Johannes Brahms, published in 1860. The work blends Romantic-era lyrical melodies with dense contrapuntal writing and a warm sonority for two violins, two violas and two cellos, and it marks an early step in Brahms's development towards larger-scale orchestral and chamber writing.
