Johannes Brahms – Capriccio No. 2, Op. 76 (Saxophone Octet + Flute & Contrabassoon)

Capriccios in general are thought not to adhere specific compositional rules, yet here Brahms allows himself to find order within the form. It’s whimsical, quirky, and completely delightful.

This is an arrangement by Richard Byrnes for Flute, 3 Soprano Saxes, 3 Alto Saxes, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, & Contrabassoon.
