Streichsextet Bes Op.18

The Eulenberg Edition of Brahms’ String Sextet No.1 In B Flat Op.18 in the original setting for 2 Violins, 2 Violas and 2 Cellos. It is an eventful yet enduring work with shifting textures that follows the conventions of the classical as much as the Romantic, with Brahms almost reluctantly capturing the beauty of Vienna. The use of String Sextet as an ensemble was new but Brahms magnificently entwines the instruments into a glorious whole.

This Eulenberg Edition is a celebrated and highly authoritative miniature score serving as the definitive reference source for study, performance preparation, or simply for those with a love of the greatorchestral works.
