About

"Brahms, the classicist, the academic - was actually a great explorer in the kingdom of musical language, a great progressive" Arnold Schoenberg.
 
Brahms’ Opus 120 dates from 1894. Meeting with Richard Mühlfeld convinced him of the clarinet’s large range of expressivity. Out of this collaboration many pieces were written : Trio op.114 (clarinet, cello, piano), Quintet op.115 (clarinet, string quartet) and the 2 sonatas op.120 which Mühlfeld played first in Vienna on January 7th 1895.
 
The thematic development spreads out with natural evidence. "Only poetic ideas seem to have been taken into account" writes Claude Rostand. Both pieces reject any virtuosity : they are pieces written for oneself, as an personal diary. The Sonata n°1 is a master-piece, made of outstanding poetic freedom. The Sonata n°2 belongs to the same inspiration and ends with a theme and variations, style so often used by Brahms in his chamber music
