It has been my mixed pleasure to play the Brahms Trio numerous times at
my annual chamber music conference. The most memorable was when the
pianist was hard of hearing, very enthusiastic, and couldn't count. We
spent so much time stopping & starting, getting lost and usually not
found. There
What Richard says is all true, except that he is describing the Third,
Adagio Mesto, movement. The first movement is the Andante movement mentioned
by
Steve F. in his original post (not that it is any "easier," particularly in
balancing with the violin in the numerous passages in thirds and
I agree with the horn list. Brahms intended it to be for waldhorn (without
valves), violin and piano. Brahms played the piano part in the premiere and
in many recitals later on. The piano part is massive and difficult, after
all Brahms was an awsome piano virtuoso. The waldhorn suits the charact
I second what David wrote. The Andante is not as "easy" as it looks. It
was written to be almost an elegy to Brahms' departed mother. The tempo
is serene, but not funereal, and requires real breath control and
dynamic control. The horn part is very exposed and pianissimo in some
sections. It's

Amado water keys work very well from me (2 horns, three keys). Just be
sure to put a drop of oil in them about once a week to keep them
operating smoothly.

Last time I played it we had a cellist in tow to play trios in the rest of
the programme.

I want to install a water key is a bit tricky to get to and is a natural water

the standard lever water key. I don't want my repair person
The trio was published for horn, violin, and piano, with a separately available
cello part. Several years later Brahms told his publisher that he felt that
the viola served the horn part better and to suppress the cello. Publishers

Can anyone tell me a bit about the Brahms Trio, Opus 40? From what I see
online, the instrumentation is definitely piano, violin, and a third
instrument which can be horn, viola, or cello. How is this piece usually
performed?
I ask because, in the online sample pages I saw, the Andante first mov

I've played one many years ago. It was considered an entry-level horn
at the time, mostly bought by horn students who were taking their
first steps on the natural horn path. It wasn't at all bad, especially
considering what you get for the relatively low price.
At the end it played a bit too "moder
