Kings Place N1 9AG[map]

Part 1: Brahms enriches his chamber music style. Prof. Robert Pascall traces the extraordinary story of Brahms’s Sarabande and Gavotte, the first music of his heard in London, in 1856, which went on to form a compositional quarry for his String Sextet No. 2, Op. 36, String Quintet No. 1, Op. 88, and Clarinet Quintet, Op. 115. The Symphony from concert hall to home. Pascall looks into that forgotten aspect of Brahms's symphonism – his arrangements for piano duet, bringing the symphonies into the 19th-century home without CDs, radio etc – into his art of arranging, the chamber-like qualities of the music itself and its textual transmission.
