Product Description
Brahms composed his piano sonata in F-minor, in 1853, at the age of 20. Markings in the piano music, such as 'like cello', or in another place 'like pizzicato', suggest he was thinking in orchestral terms. Indeed, the earliest sketches of his 1st symphony come from the year his sonata in F-minor was published.
Yet he worked at least 14 years on his first symphony, finally publishing it in 1876, at age 43.
What if Brahms had orchestrated his sonata in F-minor, opus 5, publishing it as his first symphony, in his youth, rather than at age 43?
Attempting to answer that, I embarked on a big project, to orchestrate Brahms sonata in F-minor, into a symphony. And you can listen to it yourself, as the music of Brahms comes shining through, as a symphony that 'might have been'.
Though the instrument choices and dynamics adjustments for orchestra are mine, the music is all Brahms. See what you think.
This is the 5th movement, the Finale.
The music of Brahms is a long-time favorite of symphony audiences, and this could be a hit with your audience, as well.
