Johannes Brahms - Cello Sonata in Em (1st movement)
|
|
Johannes Brahms was a master at crafting works at many different scales. His craftmanship is readily apparent in his chamber music for a small number of instruments, where he generally strove to ensure that the first movement of these works conformed to the accepted "Sonata Form" yet laying the foundation for a degree of novelty and experimentation in later movements which was true to the spirit of the Romantic Period. Among his chamber music, Brahms wrote two sonatas for Cello and Piano and this is the first movement of his first such Cello Sonata Op.38 which is available in the following formats:

Tchaikovsky: Piano Music
|
|
 The Russian composer Peter Tchaikovsky is best known for his ballet music and large scale orchestral works including six Symphonies and several Concertos. He also composed quite a large number of smaller works for the piano and many of these are good practice pieces for piano students. The "Album for the Young" is a set of 24 short pieces and, since Tchaikovsky is well-known for some of his Waltzes in his Ballet music and other works, we've chosen to provide No. 8 Waltz as a sample. Although much of Tchaikovsky's ballet music is very happy in mood, the composer suffered from bouts of depression and some of his shorter piano works seem to reflect that. Here is his "Sad Song" or Chanson Triste.

Dvorak's New World Symphony
|
|
 Czech composer Antonin Dvorak was well known for his use of music derived from the folk traditions of his home country and surrounding regions, such as his "Slavonic Dances". For a few years, until homesickness overcame him, he held a post in the National Conservatory of Music at New Work and there he discovered some new music traditions and composed some of his greatest works, among them his "New World Symphony". This contains a theme which is derived from the song "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", but is best known for the theme from the 2nd movement played on the Cor Anglais which seems to speak of his longing to be home in his native land.
Within our version of the slow movement of Dvorak's New World Symphony you will find printable PDF format versions of the full conductor's scores and all the instrumental parts.
