Faithful to Brahms' original scoring, this arrangement gives each 'choir' of instruments (woodwind, brass, and strings) a chance to shine and display their own individual sound and personality. All string parts remain in first-position throughout. Includes violin III (viola treble clef) and piano accompaniment parts-scored for several percussionists (up to five players). Introduce your students to a masterpiece with this edition of a Brahms classic.
