Viola Sonata in E flat major, Op 120 No. 2

The final work written in Brahms’ late burst of creativity for the clarinet, he would later transcribe this sonata for the viola. Beautiful melodies abound – any angst is quickly overcome in the middle movement. The feeling of intimate friendship prevails.
