Its six movements -- graceful, melodious, and light-textured -- reflect the elegance of the Mozart model while entertaining us with Brahms's characteristically spacious, flowing themes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSerenade No. 2 in A major for Small Orchestra\u003c\/i\u003e was a favorite of Brahms -- warm, intimate, and darkly colored because of the unusual absence of violins. Referring to the work as his \"beautiful opus,\" the composer often reflected on its delicacy and the \"severe test\" of performing its pensive \u003ci\u003eAdagio, \u003c\/i\u003e the third movement of five.\u003cbr\u003eThis attractive, inexpensive edition -- combining both serenades in a single volume -- is sure to appeal to a wide audience of musicians and music lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486408545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.19h x 8.39w x 0.54d","brand":"Johannes Brahms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40085216362677,"sku":"9780486408545","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_dcc82b7d-d179-481e-bf32-c463db120a21.jpg?v=1621899733","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/serenades-nos-1-and-2-in-full-score-9780486408545","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
