BRAHMS Cello Quartets

I am putting up ‘YouTube’ links to short pieces/songs of Johannes Brahms, in versions for four cellos (they can be played by cello orchestra perfectly too).

They were all performed recently (no editing whatsoever!) on a coldish and autumnal Sunday morning in the Navarre village of Barbarin by the Spanish cello group “HelloCello!”

This is a note from my web page, where the sheet music can be found:

“David Johnstone has included 5 of the 7 songs by Brahms published as his Opus 62 and presented them as romantic and sensitive settings for four cellos (or larger ensembles when doubling the parts). The harmonic importance is shared almost equally amongst all four cello parts in every song, though Cello 1 has the most memorable melodic lines. The transportation into other keys of all five pieces has been proposed so that:

Cello 1 is placed up to a maximum of 7th position, but does not use thumb position at any moment. Tenor clef is sometimes used. Cellos 2, 3 and 4 never extend beyond 4th position, and are always found in the bass (F) clef. For all the parts extensions are frequently found.”

..
Sheet Music/Partituras (see under ‘B’, composers in alphabetical order):

https://johnstone-music.com/product-category/transcripts/4-cellos-quartet-of-cellos/?lang=en

All are available individually for a token fee of €1.00 each and come complete with general score and all individual parts. The music has been bowed by Johnstone, and fingering suggestions are occasionally shown too.

This musical creation was originally prepared for Spanish cellist Paula Gómez and her cello ensemble from Sabiñanigo (Aragón, Spain)
