Brahms, Johannes - 3 Quartets Op 51 and 67 Parts for Two Violins, Viola and Cello - International Edition

Brahms's first three String Quartets were all written after he had reached the age of 40. Explaining his slow progress to a publisher in 1869, Brahms wrote that as Mozart had taken "particular trouble" over the six "beautiful" Haydn Quartets, he intended to do his "very best to turn out one or two passably decent ones." According to his friend Max Kalbeck, Brahms insisted on hearing a secret performance of the Op. 51 quartets before they were published, after which he substantially revised them.

This edition contains parts for two violins, viola, and cello. Published by International.
