The German-Canandian cellist takes a look at structure, character and speed, and explains why it is so important to honour the composer’s bowings, in the first and second movements of the E minor Sonata

Cellist Johannes Moser presents a Masterclass on the first two movements of Brahms Cello Sonata in E minor in the December 2017 issue. He says:

This sonata is filled with amazing artistry from the start: the opening melody, set on the lowest string, is dark and sinister, with a sense of disquiet. It is one of my favourite pieces and I frequently teach it to my students in Cologne.
