Composed by Johannes Brahms. Arranged by Daniel Kaplan. This edition: pdf, streaming. 19th Century, Chamber, Classical. 60 pages. Daniel Kaplan #1336786. Published by Daniel Kaplan (A0.1776764).
Arrangement by Daniel Kaplan for woodwind quintet of Brahms's Three Intermezzi for Piano, Op. 117. These Intermezzi vary in character from mellow and content to resigned, wistful, mysterious, and elegiac, with the characteristic late-Brahms rhythmic subtlety and complexity and striking changes of mood. Just as the Scherzo was for Beethoven, the Nocturne for Chopin, and the "song without words" for Mendelssohn, the Intermezzo is arguably the quintessential Brahmsian form. Perhaps surprisingly for such "pianistic" writing, they work well as a woodwind quintet.
The arrangement, intended for advanced and advanced intermediate players, features flute, oboe (doubling on English horn), clarinet in B-flat and A (with an alternate part entirely in B-flat---albeit with lots of sharps here and there), horn, and bassoon. As often happens in arrangements of piano music, the horn part lies rather low, ranging from (concert) E-flat2 to A-flat4. The flute part extends to B6.
This is part of Kaplan's project to make classics from other genres available to woodwind players. He has arranged many other great works for this ensemble, including favorites from Bach's Well Tempered Clavier and organ preludes and fugues, plus music of Vivaldi, Mozart, Schubert, Brahms, Dvorak, and little-known 20th-Century composer John Davison. All are posted on YouTube and available for sale on these online sheet-music platforms.
