Chapter 6 Brahms Cello Sonata No.1, Op.38, 1st Mov

Brahms Cello Sonata No.1, Op.38, 1st Mov

Develops chamber skills and voice balancing with piano.
Goals:

• Refine ensemble listening and dynamic control

• Express romantic phrasing with subtlety

Brahms composed one of the 2 Sonatas for Cello and Piano, and, as he wrote, "Piano will be an apprentice, sometimes a leader, but it will never have a role of pure accompaniment. Hence, the main topics of this movement are matching with the piano, accurately planning your sound, and managing sonority, which our teacher shows with many samples that she plays with her outstanding ability.
