Johannes Brahms – Andante, Op. 5 (Saxophone Choir + Piccolo, 2 Flutes & Contrabassoon)

Barely 20 years old, Brahms wrote this in 1853. It is the second of five movements. Being his last piano sonata, it is his biggest solo piano work.

This movement begins with a quotation from a poem by Otto Inkermann:

Through evening's shade, the pale moon gleams
While rapt in love's ecstatic dreams
Two hearts are fondly beating.

This is an arrangement by Richard Byrnes for Piccolo, 3 Soprano Saxes, 2 Alto Saxes, 2 Tenor Saxes, 2 Baritone Saxes, Bass Sax, & Contrabassoon.
